I've used this facility before. Today I had an interesting situation.
I had several contacts listed in the Child Items pane whom I wanted to put in the same "City". Some of the contacts were already in that city and the others weren't assigned any city. I selected ALL the child items and tried to insert the "City" attribute from the Item Attributes pane. However, the "City" attribute wasn't available. With experimentation I found that if I carefully selected only the items that didn't have a "City" assigned, I was then allowed to add the attribute. In other words, with multiple items selected, you cannot add an attribute unless no items in the selection have a value assigned to that attribute.
Kinook, is there a good reason for this or is it a bug?
