I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not contain information specific to Backpack 7.x regarding bulk actions (trash, restore, destroy) not working when multiple items are selected. The available documentation and discussions cover similar issues in earlier versions (such as 6.x and 5.x), including fixes for bulk actions in Safari, issues with editable columns, and requirements for soft deletes, but there is no explicit mention of this bug or its resolution in Backpack 7.x.

If you are experiencing this issue in Backpack 7.x, I recommend:

• Ensuring your model uses the SoftDeletes trait and the database has the appropriate soft delete column, as missing this is a common cause for restore/trash issues in previous versions Bulk restore not working.
• Making sure you are running the latest versions of Backpack and its dependencies, as similar bugs in earlier versions were fixed with updates.
• Clearing your caches with php artisan optimize:clear after updating, as this resolved some JavaScript-related issues in the past ReferenceError: Can't find variable: trashEntry.

However, for Backpack 7.x specifically, there is no direct information or confirmed bug fix in the provided sources. If the problem persists, you may want to open a new issue on the Backpack GitHub repository with detailed steps to reproduce the problem.

It seems multi select doesn't work when a row has expanded info (+ sign).

When I click on ID checkbox, it changes the sorting from asc to dsc.
