Field Instance - Set All

Sets the value of all instances of the current field within the selected scope.

Remarks

The SetAll command allows users to assign a specific value to all instances of a field within a chosen container, such as a section or table. This is useful for quickly populating or correcting multiple fields at once, streamlining data entry and review workflows.

Purpose and Functionality

• Assigns the specified value to all instances of the selected field within the chosen scope.
• Can be configured to set only invalid fields, or both valid and invalid fields, depending on the 'Invalid Fields Only' property.
• After setting, each field instance is re-validated to update its status and error indicators.

How to Use

• Right-click the field and select "Set All", or use the assigned shortcut.
• Choose the desired scope (such as a table or section) to apply the command.
• Enter the value to assign to all field instances.
• Optionally, enable 'Invalid Fields Only' to set only invalid fields, or leave it disabled to set all fields.

Example

> Use SetAll to assign a default value to all quantities in a table, or to correct a common error across multiple fields.

Related Commands

• ClearAll: Clears the values of all instances of a field.
• ConfirmAll: Confirms or unconfirms all instances of a field.
