FEATURE REQUEST: Mass Edit Functionality

[mayszs]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
One of our collections contains 249 network switches of which 247 of them have identical configurations. In the event a change is made to correct an open vulnerability it takes more time to update the 247 applicable records in STIGMan than it takes the network team to deploy the change.
Another example would be the Virtual Machine STIG. All of our VMs are deployed from templates so the Virtual Machine confirmation, as it applies to STIG Checks, are identical. Once again if a change is made to the configuration all 200+ assets have to be modified individually.
The same issue occurs when GPOs are deployed.

Describe the solution you'd like
The ability to apply changes to the same vulnerability/rule ID across multiple assets. Ideally the changes would be made from Collection Review under the STIG.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manual updates are incredibly time consuming for bulk changes so the only real alternative would be to waiting until the next scheduled run of EvaluateSTIG for updates but unfortunately many of the STIGs applicable to large numbers of assets (switches) are not supported by EvaluateSTIG.

Hi @mayszs
Thanks for the suggestion!
We agree this would be a worthwhile feature, and intend to implement it.
However, this will require an API change to do efficiently, so it will not be implemented immediately. We will add it to our project board and manage it there with our other priorities.
Thanks for using STIGMan OSS!
