Set multiple objects to use one action

With the new action slot feature, it is useful to set many objects to be part of the same action, with different action slots

For example an exploding cube.

There should be new features to set objects to use the same action, or convert multiple objects with individual actions to all use one action and make unique action slots for each.

There doesn't seem to be any way to do any of these things right now without a lot of manual labor or custom python scripting blender_4YWp2nbhvQ.png

combining actions would also be very useful, if every object has a unique action slot anyway, there should be no issues

Action Editor->Merge Animation

or also in the 3D viewport if you search with the f3 menu.

But I do agree we need more tools to mass switch objects to a new action

i did not know about this! I used the f3 menu to search for "action" and could not find it that way.

edit. It is because the f3 search is dependent on which window your mouse is in. It does not show if in the viewport. Actually interesting
