What about having dock parameters/configurations persist when opening new pages with the same dock configuration? This thread is regarding that issue, not the topic of altering multiple docks at once.

My issue is very similar to @Michael_White’s. I have a simple button to `show`/`autoHide` the dock (among other configuration changes, including content, modal, handle…) using `system.perspective.alterDock()`. Default is `autoHide`. When clicking a link in the docked view to navigate to a new page (but with the same dock configuration in the page configuration → shared settings), the dock configuration resets to the default defined in the shared settings. I also don’t see an easy to way to use parameters to accomplish this. It would be great to have a checkbox in my dock configuration to have its configuration persist between pages.

Also, the documentation on [this page](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-alterDock) is wrong, at least for the config → display parameter. The documentation states that the accepted parameters are `push`, `cover`, or `auto`, but in my logs, it is telling me the accepted parameters are `visible`, `onDemand`, or `auto`. Version 8.1.37.
