"edit attributes from view" needs the enhanced editing of enumerated attributes that differ

When using the "edit attributes from view" function that is found within the context menu of each view you create, it should have the same editing capabilities as when editing differing values of enumerated attributes from hand-selected artifacts within a module.
As it is now, the "edit attributes from view" only allows adding one or more attributes to artifacts within the view. There is also a Clear button that can't clear any attributes in view, because none of the enumerated attributes will show selected even though they show selected within your view. This is extremely limiting for editing of attributes and can really mess up your data if a user is not aware the "edit attributes from view" does not have the same functionality as editing attributes with differing values.
Note the advantage of using the "edit attributes from view" function is that it allows editing of more than 200 artifacts at one time. You cannot select more than 200 artifacts within a module and edit the artifact attributes in any other way.
