If you got lots of chests all over your settlement it would be nice to be able to change their item-filters simultaneously.  
So you can group chests for weapons, food, minerals etc.

_Edit: I made this as an example:_

I have often wanted to do this. Most of the time similar items are stored in close proximity so it would be nice to click+drag or ctrl/shift+click a group of chests, then set their filters all at once. Not essential but would be a great ‘quality of life’ improvement.
