bulk setting tags

I wish to clear tags form multiple books and set the same new tag value to all selected.

After highlighting the books, I select 'edit metadata in bulk."

I choose 'clear tags,' and 'set tags: new tag.'

After selecting apply, the operation gets applied to one title, then it asks me to repeat the process for each other book.

How do I set the same tag to multiple selections in one operation?

Thanks

the bulk metadata edit dialog never asks you to do one book at a time. Adn you can select clear all and specify tags to be added in one operation. the cear all will be applied first and then the tags will be added.
