How to search and batch edit UDT Instances

Ignition
1

I have UDT instance all over the place in tag browser.
I need to update one parameter.

How would I do this?

Thank you.

Use the Tag Report Tool in designer Tag Report Tool | Ignition User Manual

Types: UDT Instance
Ancestor: Select your UDT type(s)
Uncheck Include UDT Members if you want to exclude nested UDTs.
Search

In the results, you can then select multiple instances and click the pencil to edit (presuming you want the parameter to be identical on all) or you can edit one/few at a time if you need granular parameter editing.

I don't think you can edit params when editing multiple UDT instances.. I could be wrong, not in front of screen atm

Confirmed, when you have multiple selected you can't edit params.

I use system.tag.query to get all UDT tagPaths base from criteria.

I iterate each UDT Path writing to its parameter via writeBlocking:
