### What would you like to happen?
Current Behavior
In steps like Text File Input, Select Values, or Table Input, when dealing
with a large number of columns, users must manually select the Trim Type (or
other dropdown values) for every single row. In pipelines with 100+ columns,
this is a tedious, time-consuming, and error-prone process.
The Problem
There is currently no way to apply a specific setting to all rows at once
within the transformation grid. This lack of "bulk action" significantly slows
down the development of complex pipelines.
Proposed Solution
I suggest implementing a Bulk Update feature for table grids, similar to
spreadsheet software (Excel/Google Sheets). Specifically:
"Apply to all" Context Menu: Right-clicking a cell should offer an
option: "Apply '[Value]' to all rows in this column."
Fill Down Shortcut: Allow users to select a range of cells and use a
shortcut (like Ctrl+D) to fill all selected cells with the value of the top
cell.
Column Header Action: A button or menu in the column header (e.g., "Trim
Type") to set a default value for every row in that specific column.
Benefits
Massive Productivity Gain: Reduces configuration time from minutes to
seconds.
Reduced Human Error: Ensures consistency across all fields without the
risk of skipping a row while scrolling.
Modern UX: Aligns Apache Hop with modern data engineering tools that
prioritize efficiency.
