Public bug reported:

Some users have been reporting that they would like the ability to start
multiple instances at once, for instance after an upgrade it's common
for the instances to be shut off and needing to be manually restarted.

In itself it'd be easy enough to implement to be a low hanging fruit -
tweaking the StartInstance action button to allow for the 'instance'
parameter to be None and then adding it to the table_actions (
https://github.com/openstack/horizon/blob/master/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/project/instances/tables.py
).

However the proliferation of buttons is a concern, and I wonder how
often starting multiple instances is actually useful. Any thoughts?
