This should be a feature for sure. We are trying to move over our subscriber preferences in Mailchimp to Bloomerang and it isn't letting me in an import so I'll have to do it one by one which there are over 100 addresses to update. This should be a priority to fix.
Why is this feature request not prioritized? This is hugely cumbersome to have to manually update a user's email subscription status on a one-by-one basis. The only other option is to use something like Zapier -- this should be a built-in feature!
+1 We also need a way to indicate Opt-Out status and email interests when bulk adding records. Plus the ability to bulk update records to indicated their email preferences.
I believe that not being able to designate a contact's email interests at the time of contact creation violates the spirit of the CANN Spam Act. Every contact that's created (no matter if they were created by import, automation, form, etc.) will be assigned to every email interest the organization has. If I'm importing 250 people and I know their email interests already, then I have to manually edit every single one of them after import. I can't even bulk-edit them.
I should be able to apply their email interests when I know what they are. Furthermore, when you manually create a contact you have to save it, go back to editing the contact, and then edit their preferences.
We need some control here. Furthermore, just because a contact doesn't want to get a particular mailing, doesn't mean that we do not have permission to email them. Please add an "opt-out" indicator. Right now simply not being on a list is the same as having opted out, which it is not. Perhaps this is the root of the problem.

Yes, please!
