 * I’d like to know how to add a custom field to the Quick/Bulk Edit menu.
 * I read somewhere that it can be done using the “quick_edit_custom_box” action
   hook.
    The problem is that I can’t find any documentation about the usage of 
   this hook.
 * All help is welcome!
 * Cheers

 * I’ve never been able to find good documentation on filters and hooks. The best
   thing so far is to look in [Adam Brown’s database](http://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks/hook/quick_edit_custom_box),
   and see how/where they are called in the code.
 * It was from this that I found out that the ‘the_title’ hook is sometimes called
   with a post id, sometimes with a post object!
 * In this case, it looks like that hook only handles callbacks on fields already
   included in the Quick Edit, but I could be wrong…

 * I’ve dug through the WordPress 3.1 rc4 code and it does not look like the developers
   have yet implemented the action “quick_edit_custom_box”.
