Description - Bulk edit error message that displays which specific records are not editable and why.

Why is this feature important to you - Provides better awareness when bulk editing many records at one time by flagging which specific records are preventing the bulk edit to process.

How would you like the feature to work - Records that are uneditable are flagged with a red notification stating short reason description

Current Behaviour - no way to know which record of many is the specific record preventing the bulk edit from processing.

Which object level(s)? Are the records being edited contain custom form fields, and of those, are any of those causing issues when bulk editing?

Oh yes PLEASE. The advantage of bulk edit is to save time, but this is a common occurrence and the error not showing WHICH cause issue means trying to figure it out takes a long time.  

How would you like the feature to work - Would love if this would apply the bulk edit to everything it CAN and for the error to identify which ones it can't apply due to data variances and the edit to just ignore those few.
