Hello.
1. The error reporting in RT has been poor traditionally. It can't be
fixed both fast and systemically, so I'm afraid this question will
remain opened for a long time. However, you can rely on the fact that
the only reason the object creation fails is duplicate object name, they
should be unique.
2. I doubt it will be realized in the foreseeable future, too. You can
use simple php script to delete many objects at once:
<?php
$script_mode = TRUE;
require '/path/to/init.php';
foreach (scanRealmByText('object', '{one} and {two}') as $obj) {
commitDeleteObject($obj['id']);
}
?>
3. This feature would be helpful, thanks. It may appear in 0.20.0.

Hello all,
I'm currently in the process of populating my instance of RT 0.19.4
with about 2000 devices.
During this process, I've found a few ideas that I'd like to submit
for your consideration.
1. Specify details of failed object creation. When you successfully
add a number of objects, their creation in confirmed in a green
background. But, if only one object fails to create due to a common
name conflict, it only says "Database Error: such record already
exists". I believe a more concise report of what the conflictd were,
and what objects were created successfully, would be good.
2. Deleting objects/racks/etc. - I believe having delete icons next to
the list views of objects etc. would be great, as opposed to only on
the "properties" tab.
3. Object rack placement during creation *big one* - I think it would
be great if we could select a rack, then select to create new objects
in that rack. Then, when creating the new objects, we could specify
their rack position and size in U. This would be a *huge* time saver
when creating lots of devices, since currently I have to first create
them all, then manually associate them with their row/rack/U.
If any of these already exist, sorry for not noticing.
Cheers!
