IBM Power Ideas Portal

Screen/Print Designer allow setting properties on multiple selected fields

In the Screen and Report Designers we cannot select multiple fields and change
common properties. This functionality was available in CODE Designer.

For instance, on a screen, we want all headings a certain color. In Screen
Designer we have to make the change separately for each field. In CODE, we
could select all fields and changing the Color in the properties would apply to
all selected fileds.

All properties that need not be different for each field should be available to
change. Other properties should be disabled. If that last part is too
difficult, we can live with all properties being modifiable.


Use Case:

Change color of headings in a screen.

1. Select all the fields to be changed
2. In the properties view, set the color

    Thank you for submitting this request. We do see value in the proposed feature, however many other requests have garnered more votes, or otherwise clearly represent a higher degree of value to a broader cross-section of customers. Unfortunately, due to the large number of higher priority requests, we do not believe we will realistically deliver this, and do not wish to leave requests in "under consideration" status for an open-ended period of time.

    Accordingly, we are moving your request to rejected status at this time. You are free to resubmit for reconsideration during a later planning cycle, particularly if you are confident that the request will garner more votes.

    Thank you again for taking the time to offer your suggestion.  Much of our product direction reflects feedback such as yours, and your input is always valued even when we're unable to directly incorporate it.
