Steps to reproduce:

Trying to attach a single document  to several bugs using "Change several bugs at once". 



Actual results:

Firstly attachment option was not coming., i added in template/en/default/list/edit-multiple.html.tmpl to show that option on clicking "changes several bugs at once"


<tr>
  <th><label for="data">File</label>:</th>
  <td>
    <em>Enter the path to the file on your computer.</em><br>
    <input type="file" id="data" name="data" size="50"
      [% IF Param("allow_attach_url") %]
        onchange="DataFieldHandler()"
      [% END %]
    >
  </td>
</tr>
[% IF Param("allow_attach_url") %]
<tr>
  <th><label for="attachurl">AttachURL</label>:</th>
  <td>
    <em>URL to be attached instead.</em><br>
    <input type="text" id="attachurl" name="attachurl" size="60"
           maxlength="2000"
           onkeyup="URLFieldHandler()" onblur="URLFieldHandler()">
  </td>
</tr>

This is not the right place to ask how to customize your code, see http://www.bugzilla.org/support/ for help. Now about implementing this feature upstream, I'm not sure how useful this feature would be. You almost never want to do this, especially because you wouldn't be able to set flags correctly if selected bugs are not in the same product and component. In that case, you would have to edit each selected bug one by one to set flags. Also, I would see this feature as a very dangerous way to fill the DB pretty quickly, as you could attach a huge attachment to many bugs at once. Based on these concerns and on bug 198298, I'm marking this bug as wontfix.
