Text/Autotext Label -Can not edit Text Content from the tool's settings dialogue

[kerem-D]

I used to edit my text labels's content which is same by selecting them all via find&select and opening the "text label" from dropdown menu in the settings dialogue. This was very useful for finding labels which have the same text content from tons of labels and changing all at once at a single time. Now it seems I can not edit from settings dialogue. Instead, I have to find every label and click-edit one by one manually. Or... Again, click one by one with inject parameters tool.

I mean, this area (Label Text) was open for typing. Now, it's locked.

 I don't have an idea what caused this. If this is due to removed features of new versions, it's very unhelpful.

Operating system used: Windows Win11 - 25H2

Was that many versions ago?

Maybe before it was an "Auto-text" label?

Was there something before auto-text labels? - I can't remember.

An 'Auto-text" label has never been able to be edited it the settings dialogue that I am aware of, only by editing the text itself.

I just checked version 22 (the oldest one I have running) and that is certainly the case there.

Other labels can be edited in the settings, just not auto-text.

It was never for typing. Just tested it again in 26 and 29. No difference there.

I think you might be misremembering it. 🤔

Hello everyone,

I agree with Kerem-D,

This feature existed a few versions ago and was very useful.

It has disappeared since then, I don’t know which version.

A practical thing that has disappeared, too bad!
