So, does anyone know of a way to select multiple ways, and only change
one attribute?

Whistler campground consists of a hundred or so ways, and selecting
each way, double-clicking on the highway attribute, and changing it to
service is a little tedious. I can use JOSM to select multiple
ways/nodes, but I'm not sure if I can do a bulk attribute change or
not.

When I select a bunch of data inside the campground, it should all
have common tags, with the only unique tag being the GeoBase NID. JOSM
however indicates that the highway tag value is <different>. Perhaps
this is because I have nodes and ways selected. Is there a way to only
select multiple ways?

I could see this being useful for adding bulk tags such as IS_IN to a
number of ways in an area.
