Permission Quick Edit: Security Matrix checkboxes for Fields
It would be really helpful to have the option in the various Security Matrix sections to toggle all the checkboxes on or off across for a particular field, not just down for a Role or Status.
And as we can do with the 3 dots in the header row to "Copy Row Settings", I'd like to be able to "Copy Field Settings".
Use Case: I have a similar update I'd like to make to a large number of new fields to remove all the current permissions and replace with updated permissions and need to go through each field and each Status and Role manually. Would be so helpful to just be able to "select all" and delete everything back to a blank slate, and then copy/paste the settings we've updated for a related field.

We will monitor interest for future consideration.

This would allow us to re-align user roles to better handle security. We currently want to create some new roles to be more granular, then de-commission some broad roles. Because we need to make changes at the field level over a large number of fields, we have not started this initiative. This should address the issue we have and allow us to make role changes much easier.
