Bibliographic bulk change template
We just upgraded to 6.5 and I'm very pleased with the ability to save record set changes as a template to use again and again. I make frequent identical changes on bibs in bulk mode to fields for incoming records. I know some people use MarcEdit for this purpose. Instead of having go "outside the system" for this process, it would be fabulous to be able to save frequently and repeated bibliographic bulk changes as templates for future records.
Idea Value
This would be a huge time saver when doing database clean up that needs ongoing monitoring as well as for incoming records to our system. As it is now, I have to choose the 8-10 changes individually for each bibliographic record set of incoming records.

Yes, this would be great! We paid for developing the item bulk change template process back in 2018 and were disappointed we couldn't afford the bib bulk change templates at the time. It would be awesome to see this functionality finally expanded to the finicky world of bib bulk changes.
Then it would be even better if those templates could be auto applied via an import profile! https://ideas.iii.com/forums/951742-ils-polaris/suggestions/46707169-allow-bib-bulk-change-steps-to-be-applied-to-impor
