Adding several resources to a resource group simultaneously

Adding a bunch of resources to a resource group is quite tiresome. I'd like to be able to select several resources at once (e. g. by using the Ctrl and Shift keys and/or by selecting them with the mouse) and drag them to the resource group simultaneously. It should be possible to add whole subtrees (a folder together with its contents), too.

This is an interesting feature that has been asked for on many occasions.
As of 2.2.14-pl, it is still not implemented.

However, since a major revamp of the MODX manager (removing ExtJS, decoupling...) is expected (sometime), this feature could/should be added then.

definitely a +1 from my side, still struggeling with extjs =) at: manager/assets/modext/widgets/security/modx.tree.resource.group.js where I think a confirm Message Popover with a checkbox should be implemented (besides updating the processor at core/model/modx/processors/resource/resourcegroup/updatefromgrid.php), the checkbox should ask (in case the dropped resource is a container btw. has childs) if you also want to add the children the that resource group...

+1 Any alternative solutions to accomplish this task while waiting for this ticket to be resolved?

Still not implemented in MODX 2.5.5. #modxbughunt

This feature can probably be added via an Extra. While I agree, I think this would be very helpful and makes sense in core, there could be a solution for this in the near future with Batcher v2.1.0 /cc @joeke
