Select multiple tasks at once with keyboard and mouse in Grid View

[qcha41]

Description

I think it would be nice to have the ability to select multiple tasks (to clean or to set success or failed) at once in the Grid View by :

• Drawing a square with the mouse
• Click on a task, hold CTRL keyboard button, click a second task somewhere else -> two tasks selected
• Click on a task, hold SHIFT keyboard button, click a second task somewhere else -> a square a tasks selected, first task being at the upper left, the second at the lower right

Use case/motivation

In some cases it would be really simpler and more efficient to select tasks this way in the grid view, instead of crafting a request in the Browse panel, iterating over the pages if several, etc.

Good idea! I actually thought we already had an issue for this, but I guess not.

Could be a part of this #31556

Could @jonhspyro and I take care of this issue?

[gaelxcowi]

is there a status on this?

[pierrejeambrun]

@gaelxcowi There was an attempt here #40147 but got closed. As you can see there are a few implications about updating the details pane as well as adding bulk actions on tasks. This is not super trivial.

I don't think anybody is working on this issue at the moment, feel free to take it.

Also from a release point of view such new feature can only make it into airflow 3. (next minor release is a bridge release without additional features)

@pierrejeambrun understood, thank you for the status.
