If I add a embedded view in view, it has default size width=300 and height=300.

But I need to change Embedded View’s size again,width=200 height=300.

But the old embedded view’size is also 300 and 300, it doesn’t update the new size.  
I have to change it by hand , Is there easy way to update it?

I think you have not explained the problem clearly. Can you edit your post (pencil icon) to clarify what the problem is and what your image is supposed to show us?

No, there's no mechanism in Ignition to automatically update all the embedded instances of a view to its new default sizes.

There's a long list of reasons why we don't, but if you _really_ want to do that, views are just json files on disk. You could theoretically use a tool like [`jq`](https://jqlang.org/) on the command line to automatically update all of your `view.json` files after you made a change to an embedded view.

If you put the views into a Flex container instead of Coordinate, then the `useDefaultViewWidth` and `useDefaultViewHeight` properties should work.
