I couldn't make it clearer that I am trying to apply multiple meta-data changes concurrently to a book or books.

You are answering about applying a SINGLE change to multiple books - which I am well aware of how to do.

And yes - you can edit multiple fields using the batch update tabs 1 & 2, but all of the changes I am referring to are 3rd tab changes - I use a lot of regular expression edits, and these seem to only be able to apply one at a time.

I am aware that there are various mechanisms that do not make it to the UI that can be used with calibre, so I am hoping one of these can provide a way.
