Bulk package update to a specific version

[Semax]

Please consider a situation when a single solution provides a bunch of packages. All these packages have the same version and are used in other solutions in various combinations. More over, each solution may reference a specific version of packages different from the versions used by other solutions. So it would be a great improvement if NuGet UI provided a way to make bulk update of the packages to a specific version (not just to the highest one as it is now). Maybe it would be helpful to introduce a notion of package set so users could mark the desired packages as a set (specific to referencing solution) for subsequent atomical updates.
Thanks.

NuGet UI only works across a single solution.
We do have a way to do bulk updates in one solution: solution level package manager/consolidate tab.
We are considering a lineup feature #2572 that may cover some of these scenarios.
Follow that issue.

Ok, thanks. Actually, having a way to select the update mode in UI might also cover some of these cases. I mean those modes which are available for console with Package-Update options -Safe and -ToHighestMinor followed by "to highest" as default.

@rrelyea this might be related to multiple branches issue we discussed with nVentive the other day.

One good workaround for this is to have common props file which define the version for all the packages which shares similar pattern. And everytime you want to update to a specific version for all such packages, just update it at one place and run restore. it will make sure all the packages are updated to that version.
