Description

Describe the Bug

When Tabs are connected in the collection, Bulk Edit in some field from Tabs (subfield) stops working.

For example, if there is a "Status" field in the collection in Tab with the "Published" or "Draft" options, when Bulk Editing this field we will get a 200 OK response, but the data will not change in any way.

Example in the repository https://github.com/dfuqq/PayloadBulkWithTabsIssue - there are 2 collections of NoTabs and Tabs, where you can try the relevant changes
