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

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.

If the old text label is like the auto-text label then it is not actually an object.

It is built into the program so it can't actually be opened and saved as an object.

 

I just open version 10 and yes, you can select multiple text labels and edit them all at once in the settings.

But it is not an object, so you can't open it and save it to then load in 29.

 

So it seems unfortunately now, text labels must be edited one by one (pick-up and inject can speed this up).

Time to make a new wish if this is something you frequently need to do?

You can add either key, name or description of the keynote to the label. Databse is large but on the top of the pallette there is search bar which can find words inside the description as well, not only keys/names.

 

Also, once you have placed the keynote into the view, you can select it and it is going to be highlighted in the list. It's different workflow yes, but once you get used to it you find it quite useful I would say.

 

Also, you can add a shorcut to a toolbar to quickly show/hide palette in your workspace.

Yes, I immediately added a shortcut to examine working with keynotes but still not practical as the old method because I have to identify a new keynote every time I want to place a label with a different content

 

Anyway, your suggestion seems to be only way for me now unless devs bring that feature back with an update ^^ 

 

@Lingwisyer yes, due to sudden customer/administration demands or changing work item codes (unique ID numbers for building materials and descriptions published by Ministry)

 

Thank you everyone. Sorry for my english if there has been any mistake.
