Currently you have to manually select each layer one by one to lock and unlock, which is a pain. If you want to move a group and have a locked layer buried in the group you have to go down and find it and unlock it you want to move a group.

Sucks.

There should be a unlock all / lock all for selected layers and groups with an option to include child layers.

I think... this is already implemented.

You can use this dialog with this settings on parrent folder. (works only for layers inside, not folders).
Top menu > Layer > Lock all layers in group

You can use my script in link above and set him shortcut.

In CC 2014, sometimes it locks every layer inside a group, other times it does not. e.g: Case 1 - Lock the group, and then unlock the group, all layers inside unlocked. Case 2 - Lock the group and then unlock the group, all layers inside independently locked.

You can already select multiple layers to lock and unlock.
And locking a group does lock all layers inside the group.

I think a Scripting solution should be feasible.

So annoying.. I'm surprised more people didn't vote this up.

Try using the Lock All Layers in Group from the layers panel flyout menu or from Layer>Lock All Layers in Group. For example if you have one or more layers locked in the group, don't click any boxes in the dialog, just click ok and that should unlock the layers in the group. This also works for selected layers (more than one layer selected), but then the menu item will change to Lock Layers.
