Batch Update Item Descriptions when necessary

• When you go to a layer's item description, there are things available for editing such as Summary, Description, Title, and Tags.  In many cases you may want to use the exact same values for those items that are similar but on multiple different layers. It would be nice if there was a way to do a top down inheritance of those items that are in the same gdb.
  
  For example, you download the Local Government Information Model.lpk and start loading your data into it. Your boss wants you to do some editing on the metadata OR you want to package all of the layers (for purposes of exporting the schema along with a symbology).  You may need to put something in the description for each and every layer about adapting your data to the LGIM model. 
  
  Wouldn't it be AWESOME if you could do that only once for the GDB while all of the individual layers inherit the same description (values)?
