Properties Pane: change properties for selected widgets

Frontend

Implemented

on 26 Feb 2018

OutSystems 10

I'd like the posibility to select multiple widgets and then in the properties pane the properties that are not unique to a widget can be edited. For example, when selecting multiple radiobuttons I want to set the destination and style once for all radiobuttons.

Merged this idea with 'Applying a style to several screen elements' (created on 2012-10-10 11:07:36 by João Costa)

When you selecte several elements, the <Style> dropdown list is disable.
The idea is that you can apply a Style to several elements in on click, instead of selecting one by one and applying the style.

Hi,

I would like to see the following.

when you select a couple of, input-widgets in a screen, the "properties" block will become empty. Which is not very handy.
I would like to alter their css in 1 go, or set the same width. you name it.
every property that could be set the same should be editable.
ofcourse with and extra option "keep" where the specific property is kept

The alternative might be search and replace, but that won't be sufficient, because you don't want to change everything (and you cannot search on specific widget-types)

Currently you can only set the Public property on 1 item at a time.

I've just imported an icon set of over 100 items which I'm putting in it's own eSpace purely for reuse by other applications.

I'm going to have to manually set each icon/image to public. This may take me some time!

It would be good if I could just multi-select all the items and toggle their Public attribute in one go!

Cheers,
Richard

Okay so I switched to an IconSet containing 3500 images. I've decided only to make the ones public that I need :-)

But this would still be a good idea.

Ability to edit common properties of multiple selected objects.

E.g. Select several containers and edit their style at once, instead of having to select each individually to do this.

This is a great idea. Not only for containers or inputs, but for all kind of elements. For instance, I usually need to set roles for several pages, set mandatory atrributes to true or even a lot of actions to be public.

I guess this will be a good improvement if implemented.

It would be great if the OutSystems IDE could edit the same attributes on multiple fields at once.

I.E.
Ctrl + click to select 10 labels and change the width field which will changeit on all ten.

I realize that not every element has the same fields, however, I think that thebottom-right attribute box should show the shared attributes

Let's say I have 4 fields with monetary type, all of them were created as text, as it's the default type. In order to change all of the 4 fields to decimal, I need to select each one and change, which would be easier if I could just simply select all the 4 fields and change their type.

Select multiple items in Service Studio with CTRL-Click and get to adjust their shared properties. For instance i need to add a CSS class to 4 items on screen. Instead of just clicking one item adding the class and then clicking the next one and then adding the class, I simply CTRL-Click all the items that need the class and in the property window (bottom right) I see their shared properties. One of the shared properties would be 'Style Classes' and i can set them all at the same time. This feature would save a lot of development time and it surprises me Outsystems does not support it yet.

If i choose 3 attributes ("Name", "Surname", "DateOfBirth") and all have some values, say the attribute "Is Mandatory" and by default they have values "No". Now i want to change all the three values to "Yes". By selecting all the attributes, the value can be changed all at once, not one by one.

thank you.

I want to be able to change multiple widgets at once

Example:

When I want to assign a style to multiple expressions, but not all, I would like to be able to select the Expressions and set their values to the CSS or make them bold etc. I would like to essentially be able to have access to the properties that the widgets share, be it, Visible, Margin left, Margin Top, width, Style classes, etc.

I think you get my point. Would this be possible, are you working on it, if so how soon can we look forward to it in our toolboxes?

When we have multiple objects...I expect we could change the same attribute they share at once.

For example I have 10 server actions and want to make it all public. I must go one by one. Why not just shift click all the objects and the same attributes should be visible and able to be changed at once.

tbh, it's very clear.

select mutliple webblocks, set them all to public=yes at once

The ability to drag and drop many files at once to the resources is very nice.

What would be even better? A way to set a group of files to deploy to a target directory, instead of having to do this one by one...

If this is not possible, what about the possibility to create folders in Resources, with the "Deploy to Target Directory" property, being possible to drag multiple files to it and deploy them all to the target directory?

This would be really nice :)

Hi Vasco,

That idea is very nice, and I think that, if it was applied to anything that has properties, probably would solve this issue in a way, as it would be possible to select many resources and define at once the Target Folder to deploy.

So, by me, its fine to merge :)

This would reaaly be nice, because many times we want to define many properties at once :)

Width, and Margin Top in containers, and inputs;
Destination in buttons and links.
