I wonder if it would be worth adding a sticky checkbox here, only available when editing both copies and call numbers at the same time, that indicates whether the call number should be updated for all items or not. Or perhaps we can revert back to the old, xul client behavior except in cases where the copy(ies) being edited is the last copy belonging to that call number. IIRC, the big complaint with this previous behavior wasn't necessarily that a portion of the items was moved to the new call number, but that the old call number was being deleted when we really just wanted it to do be updated. Deleting the call number would then cancel any volume-level holds.

The use case where this was particularly problematic was for on-order items. Once those items were received, the call number would be updated from On Order to the real call number, but all of those volume holds would be lost in the process.
