Breaking links for several selected symbols at once doesn’t work
At the moment it is not possible to unlink several selected symbols at once with the context menu command. Illustrator will unlink the symbol that is at the top in the layer panel.
If you use the symbol menu command to unlink the symbols all selected symbols are unlinked.
Thank you!

The issue is no longer happening in Ai Beta 28.4.0.8

I can’t replicate this with the latest builds...
All three versions I tried break links to several different selected symbols, using both the button in Control panel and the menu command in the Symbols panel’s flyout menu. -

The very purpose of symbols is to reuse multiple instances of them. Sometimes I need to creak the link to the symbols, but I can't do it by selecting all of them and then break the link. I have to do it one by one. This is a problem when I have hundreds of symbols.

What about this also?
Drag-n-drop several symbols at once
