Feature Request: Add Bulk Mutation Endpoints for Admin Workflows #699

@Mikearaya

Description

@Mikearaya

Problem

The engine currently exposes no dedicated bulk mutations. As a result, the admin UI must execute N individual mutation calls for common batch operations such as:

  • publishing/unpublishing products
  • tagging entities
  • assigning products to assortments
  • advancing order workflows
  • deleting products

This creates:

  • unnecessary network overhead
  • slower/Bad UX
  • more frontend orchestration complexity
  • difficult partial failure handling

Proposed Bulk Mutations

bulkSetProductStatus(productIds, status)
bulkUpdateProductTags(productIds, add, remove)
bulkAssignProductsToAssortment(productIds, assortmentId)
bulkRemoveProducts(productIds)

bulkUpdateUserTags(userIds, add, remove)

bulkUpdateOrderStatus(orderIds, transition)

bulkRegenerateFilters(filterIds)

Benefits

  • Enables modern multi-select admin workflows
  • Reduces N requests → 1 request
  • Simplifies frontend logic
  • Improves performance and UX
  • Centralizes validation and error handling

Suggested Response Type

type BulkOperationResult {
  successCount: Int!
  failedCount: Int!
  failedIds: [ID!]!
}

Notes

This proposal intentionally focuses on a small set of explicit, high-value bulk mutations instead of introducing a generic bulk execution framework.

Implementation complexity should remain relatively low since the underlying single-entity mutations already exist.
