ok, did some more digging and I found the issue. We’re using the Nested Pages plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-nested-pages/) for much easier page hierarchy management across 100’s and 100’s of pages. Bulk Edit with Nested Pages enables does not include Groups. Deactivating it does.
So, the question is…is this a question for that plugin dev to “see” the Groups plugin presence and include it as an option in Bulk Edit? Is Bulk Edit a core system function with optional elements that plugin devs may not expose?
