@MerlinMama:

My MCS plug-in has the backhanded capability to perform the function that you are looking for.

See the attached example.

Note the intentional limitation highlighted in the example: it only will execute the changes for books that are both Marked AND Selected. It is designed to be an integral part of MCS, not to be a generic replacement for MDE. Hence, the word "backhanded".

The list of books that MCS selects are the only books for which this function will work. You cannot manually mark and manually select random books. You must use MCS to search and find the ones you wish to change first. Of course, you could search broadly, so all your books were "marked" by MCS, and then select only the ones you wished to change.

The ToolTips for that Tab provide more information.
