Thank you.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
None, here it happens on current project files, new files, new blender installations, ....

It is intended behaviour.
Copy Attributes addon allows to copy/paste settings from active object to objects of selection.

It does copying and pasting in one operation.

So, you select multiple objects. You call the menu. You click on menu item. -> Attributes are copied and pasted instantly.

Menu is not greyed out if several objects are selected. It is just greyed out when selection is made of one object.
It is a way to warn user that selection is not appropriate. It is not a bug.

The Copy Attributes Menu add-on hasn't been changed since November 2016.

Like it was said, tested with version 0.4.7 that was shipped with Blender 2.74 and the menu's entries are grayed out with only one object selected so the behavior is similar to that of before.

Try selecting multiple objects. It will copy from Active object to the selected ones.

It's maybe possible to add some warning in the menu though, i look into it.

Closing as archived.

Oh ok....
I guess that would be better to warn the user, yes.
