It would be convenient if one could mark more than one contact and edit fields. Say for example that I want to add the organization for a couple of contacts. Today I must open each, change tab and write the organization.

In Songbird i can edit metadata for multiple entries. It should be the same here.

Reproducible: Always
I'm pretty sure there's another bug somewhere, but I can only find bug 330392.
