What impact would it make?

Reduce time to update entity specification data

How should it work?

Like the existing Add- and UpdateSpecificationField, but take in an enumerable of SpecificationField.

Why is it needed?

Having to add/update 50+ specification fields one by one adds a lot of overhead. In our case it will in the best case add roughly 10 seconds to the import of each item entity, of which we have many updates each day.
In the case where we need to update our entire catalog, because systems got out of sync, or events were lost, we would need to import more than 1.000.000 item entities, each taking 11+ seconds to import. We would never reach the end.


Additional feedback, background or context:
For now this is primarily requested for the Remoting API, as we haven't been able to migrate to the REST API. We had this bulk update functionality available in the on-prem version, before migrating to iPMC.
It would be ideal to have it in both REST and Remoting though, as we have started the analysis phase of moving away from Remoting.
