Bulk editing of properties for multiple elements in Enterprise Architect

[Tarzan]

Hello everyone,

I think it would be very useful to have the option in Enterprise Architect to perform bulk editing on multiple selected elements.

For example:

• Select multiple elements and change their stereotype all at once.
  Update the status or phase of all selected elements simultaneously.
  Or edit other common properties (such as author, version, tagged values, etc.) in bulk.

This would be especially helpful in larger models or during refactoring, where it’s currently necessary to open and modify each element individually.

Is there already something like this available, or could this be considered as a feature request for a future release?

Hi,
at least for "Status/Phase/Version" the feature is there!
See "Status Update...".
For other stuff you can just write a small script.

Hi PeterHeintz,

Thanks for your reply! We’re using Enterprise Architect version 16.1, but I can’t seem to find the “Status Update…” feature. Could you please tell me where I can find it and how to use it to update the status/phase/version of multiple elements at once?

You also mentioned that I could write a small script for other properties (like stereotype or tagged values). I have to admit that I don’t know how to program, so writing a script myself isn’t really an option.

Thanks a lot for your help!
