Title: {bag} what's that?

Many data elements show a text “{bag}” to the right of their name. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it?

That is UML for:  "a collection that does not enforce uniqueness, or order"
It's what happens if you set both isOrdered and isUnique to false.
See §7.5.3.2 Multiplicities of the UML specs.

Select the properties of your attribute, click on the [...] next to multiplicity, and uncheck "Allow Duplicates"

I never knew this was possible. Really useful little feature though. Thanks for asking and answering!

(Table 7.1 in UML spec 2.5.1, for anyone interested)

that's it. How would a script look like to uncheck "Allow Duplicates" for all attributes?

There is a property EA.Attribute.AllowDuplicates that you can set to false.
