Apply properties from right click menu to selection of similar items

Status: New

Say I've dropped two 2D array controls on my block diagram, and would like to change both of their appearances in the same way. I can select each one at a time, right click and head to Visible Items > Index Display. However, it would be nice to be able to select multiple items of the same type and have the option of applying the same change to all of them.

Currently, selecting both and right clicking lets me change the following:

It would be nice if LV could recognise that I've selected two identical controls and offer me the option of changing the display settings for each of them:

 

select-similar-items2.png

 

Expanding this, you could use the same approach for BD constants, such as setting multiple string constants to '\' code display, or disabling size to text.

On a similar note, changing the display format of multiple elements in a cluster, I'd like to do the same 😞
