Edit Item property values in bulk ? [CE17.1]

If you have to edit item properties you have to do it by opening each Item and change the value of each property

What if a property for number of items changes. How can you achieve a bulk change 

Example:

A appliance Is of Type "A" and I need to change it to Type "B"

Or I need to repeatedly change a date property.

The "Find/Replace Text" Tool finds a Label showing the property all right. Then you need to doubleclick and edit the property in the "Edit Item" Tool

Would be nice to have a tool "Find/Replace Item Property Value".

Or is there a way to achieve this? Especially also if you need to do this throughout a lot of files/models
