Stage	edit multiple features example
1 - After selecting Edit feature, the initial panel contains the UpdateWorkflowData.viewModel.
2 - If multiple features are selected, the subsequent attribute panel has access to UpdateWorkflowData.candidates and UpdateWorkflowData.viewModel.
3 - Once a feature is selected, the subsequent attribute panel has access to UpdateWorkflowData.edits, UpdateWorkflowData.editableItem, and UpdateWorkflowData.viewModel.
