The bulk action is by default applied to all post types.
The plugin uses input types of date and time to allow users to set the desired publish date / time.

Bulk edit publish date

Took me hours to find this plugin - this is exactly what I needed, and does the job very nicely.

I had 300 posts that needed to go live at midnight in two weeks, and it would have taken ages to do it the normal Wordpress way, so this plugin enabled me to do it in 5 minutes (including installing the plugin!).

Fantastic Plugin!

Thank you, this plugin works perfectly. Just what I needed.

Works like a charm!
