[FEATURE] Enhance the "Browse Device" tag staging dialogue for manipulating the tag tree as well

I really like the tag staging dialogue available when you select "Browse Devices" from the tag browser + menu:

However, this would be super nice to be able to also use to stage manipulations/additions/deletions of tags in the tag browser as well, not just a select few actions (add folder/standard tag).

I would like to be able to move/rename tags, create UDT instances, paste tag JSON in, modify UDT Definitions, etc.
Moving the editing of tags out into a non-modal popup would be nice as well, as currently it appears in the same popup by "sliding" the tag browser out and sliding the tag edit window in - same UX issue as in the changes made to the tag editor in the first versions of v8.

The benefit of being able to stage these changes would be:

  • not creating nuisance alarms when duplicating existing tags/UDT instances
  • not creating orphaned tag history when duplicating existing tags/UDT instances
  • being able to make bulk changes and have these all recorded by the audit log together, rather than separate entries for a potentially large number of changes.
  • review changes before accepting them
  • I'm sure there are others...

Idea:
