I just updated to v. 8.3.1beta. I'm really liking the improvements so
far--thanks, developers!
One question: is there a way to bulk fill the Etymology > Source
Language field? I have already noted that 'Source Language' is not an
eligible field in 'Bulk Edit Entries', but is there another way? In
8.2.x I was using the Etymology > 'Comment' field for source language
information. In 8.3 that field has been renamed to 'Following
Comment'. In 8.3 I have created a number of 'Languages' in Lists >
Languages, but it would be really nice if one could apply a language
to a number of entries at once. I have over 300 to re-do, and there's
a lot of clicking involved...
Any help appreciated!

It ought to work in the Bulk Edit Lists tab, since the content comes from a list.

That would be nice, but when I go to 'Configure Columns...' and find
'Etymology - Source Language' it is lacking the blue double arrow =
"Available for Bulk Editing". On the 'List Choice' tab, the only
option available in the 'Target Field:' drop-down is 'Morph Type'. Am
I missing something, or is this feature not yet built? The fields are
new, so it may be the case that they're not ready for Bulk Editing
yet...

Yes, that would be it. We will get it activated for the Beta 2.
