Issue/Introduction
Bulk edit or value copy is not possible for the Resources workspace Department and Location attributes.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Navigate to MUX Resources workspace and add the Department, Location to the Grid view.
- From the Grid, one row at a time, change the values for Department (or Location) to a single common value (e.g.: Value 1), then change it to a different single common value (e.g.: Value 2).
Expected and Actual results: The values will be changed as expected (single value update works).
- Select the same rows using the checkboxes.
- Click on Edit to do a bulk edit.
- Revert the value of Department or Location back fo the first value selected in Step 2 (e.g.: Value 1).
- Click Save.
Expected Results: The value is changed for both rows.
Actual Results: The value remains the same. There is no error/warning displayed in the UI or logs.
Similar behavior is observed when copy/pasting the values in the grid or when dragging the bottom right corner of the corner to copy a value - the value is not copied.

Resolution
This issue is working as per the intended design.
If the attribute is used as a Target Attribute in a Conditional Required Modal rule, you will not be able to bulk update that attribute. If bulk update was allowed, it would trigger multiple modals for the conditional required modal, which would create a poor user experience.
On the resource blueprint, there are over 24 OOTB business rules.
As these limitations only apply in the Modern UX, you may still use the REST API, XOG, Classic and GEL/Processes for updating the Department/Location fields.
Additional Information
"Conditional Required Modal rules behave differently during bulk updates:
- Grid Bulk Edit: The preview pane will not reflect the modal-required attributes."
