Is there a method to execute a bulk modification of a property for a specified component type in ignition? For instance, let's say I want to set the "mode" of all **coordinate containers** from "percent" to "fixed".

You can edit the json of your views to do this. Every view is stored in the file system as a json file, so you can fairly easily loop through those you want to update and modify the json. Or, if you only want to do it on a single view, or less automated, then you can copy the json of the view from the designer (shift+right click, copy json) , and process that, then paste json back
