Also, the inability to changing settings for multiple goals at once came up as #2 in the annoyingness poll:
I definitely think it’s beeminder’s most annoying problem after the lack of YBHP. The objections to it can be addressed by making the interface say something like “select goals and change a setting in the selected goals,” thus requiring the user to think about which goals to select and what settings to change, rather than something like “take a break” which admittedly oversimplifies things.
But like @drtall says, after YBHP is implemented, this will all be easy to automate. Yay!
