When going to Site Building> Triggers > Workflow, all of the workflows are listed with the actions for each workflow state change. There is an unassign link next to the assigned actions and drop downs with assign buttons for each workflow state change.

I'm not sure if it's possible or in high demand, but it would be faster to unassign actions if the 'unassign' link was instead a check box and there was a global "submit" button at the bottom of the page. This way users could make batch changes (sort of like creating/editing a new workflow) instead of one-by-one.

The same thing for assigning actions... if there could be a checkbox with drop down and a global "submit" button to do the changes instead of having to do it one by one, it could save a lot of time for users like me :)

Sorry to see this apparently hasn't gotten much attention because I've been thinking along the same lines with regard to Triggers in D6. Sure would save me a lot of time if I were able to "bulk assign" workflow triggers.

Anybody got a clue how (or even where) to implement such a change?

Add me as another person (along with multiple other Drupallers at the university where I work) who would really like to see this!

Well, workflow doesn't really have any say about the UI here. The UI is being provided by the core trigger.module, not by workflow. Workflow is only exposing workflow transitions for trigger module to assign actions to.

I agree that the UI could be improved. But the way to improve it is to propose a patch to core's trigger.module.
