I want to change an entire road from residential to tertiary. Currently all I can do is change each section.

How in iD can I change the entire road?

jidanni, some questions before you start to edit the road. Could you or do you have a link to the road ? Why do you want to change the category of the entire way ? What has been changed ?

Yes, it is the famous zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/西屯路 . Google maps shows it correctly as thicker than the surrounding side streets. I want to also make that true in OSM but I gave up after about five slices, it being too much work.

Do you mean this road, its already marked tertiary ?! http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/24.19290/120.60601 The link you have added is a Wikipedia one and not an OSM one. Or is there another road with the same Taiwanese characters ?

Yes, the east-west one. Yes, tertiary perhaps at that particular segment. OK thanks everybody.

Hi, iD developer here. Yes you should use JOSM for this. We don't have any immediate plans to add mass retagging capability to iD.

I did a quick search on this help site and found https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/37836/is-there-a-way-to-edit-multiple-street-segment-names-simultaneously . It's from 2014, but I think it still not possible in iD, but you could always use JOSM for such a task.

Indeed. iD is designed for ease-of-use and a shallow learning curve; that means some power tools are discarded. For advanced editing, I would recommend JOSM.
