Hello community,
I am just wondering if there is a way that I can format the DataCardKeys and DataCardValues from different DataCards but within the same form all at once?
Currently, I have to click on each DataCardKey and DataCardValues under each DataCard, and edit it's height, Width, X and Y all manually and one by one.
Is it possible to be done in bulk? Thank you in advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can Ctrl+click with DataCards within a form, but not the individual objects, and you have to do it from the tree view
And as for selecting all of the datacardkey/value items, you can do it using the undo method you mentioned and then de-selecting the other items that are not of the same type from the tree view on the left - @mdevaney has a good tweet that covers this:

You can dynamically create a variable OnStart of the App:
Hi, thank you for your quick reply.
I have done something similar. My top/first object in the screen is always the format the rest will follow. So in the rest of the datacard values or keys, I will always just set Width = [FirstObject]. Width , Height = [FirstObject].Height so on and so for.
However, my struggle is, I have to click on each datacard_value and datacard_key and select "Width" or "Height", whatever that I am trying to change, and paste that function.
What I am looking for is the ability to not have to select every single card to make the changes for the very first time. Because once I have done that, if I change the format after, it will just all change to the [FirstObject]'s format instead of manually clicking each one to change again.
Well for the first time, you may have to through some manual process.

Heya @lliu_western & @eka24
Yes, you can use my method or you could use this other method which also works (last time I checked):
Ctrl+Click on DataCard1, DataCard2, DataCard3 then press Ctrl+A - this should allow you to set all of the widths to Datacard1.width as you were doing manually before (now all ofthem including Datacard 1 are set to this so it will all go blank as it can't reference itself)
Then de-select them all and just choose Datacard1 from the left navigation tree, set datacard1.width and the rest should follow
Let me know if this works for you, and thanks @eka24 for the shoutout 😺

Hi thank you for your reply.
But control, and select multiple only works when its datacard itself. I believe if it's Datacard from a form, you cannot use this method.
I have learned another method to select multiple datacard by switching the layout of the form then reverse back the action then it will select all the datacards in the form. However, I am interested in knowing how in each datacard inside the "form", there is datacardkey and datacardvalue, is there anyway to select them and edit them all at once?
You can multi-select the datacardkey and datavalue if it's within the same datacard.
Anyone has insights on this? thank you.
