dev/core#2310 Searchkit - Perform bulk updates in batches; improve user feedback.

[colemanw]

Overview

https://lab.civicrm.org/dev/core/-/issues/2310

Adds a batch system to search kit. This avoids server timeouts, and improves the user experience.

Before

Simple save button processes all records at once with no user feedback.

After

Processes bulk updates/deletes 500 at a time, with a progress bar, spinner & text to indicate which records are being processed.

Technical Details

This breaks the batches into groups of 500 records at a time. That number is currently a hard-coded constant. I guess we could make it a setting if needed.

Ohh this is exciting - I can't kick the tyres until next week though

@colemanw this is nice.

I experience a real lag in the other fields in the screen - this is the before screen shot - note how long it takes for the field to change to a hand - campaign is also fairly slow (there are quite a few). I originally thought it was worse after but I'm not so sure now. I think it warrants further investigation but is non-blocking on this

@eileenmcnaughton I think the slow lag when opening up the "Add Value" select is due to it waiting on an ajax Contribution.getFields happening in the background to populate that list. I'm not sure why that call is taking so long but I would guess it is due to an excessively long pseudoconstant list in one or more of the fields... perhaps there are a lot of campaigns?

@eileenmcnaughton I think this will help with your loading time issue: #19463
