Multi-select editing of templates

Open yorschor opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

Currently the editor only allows the template action for single selection.

It would be great if at least "apply to template" would be possible with multiple templates selected.

You can now Unlink from Template for a multi-selection:

This was implemented here: https://github.com/playcanvas/editor/issues/1222

It does seem reasonable for Apply to Template to also be permitted, so I'll leave this issue open.

"Apply to Template" can be a bit tricky. What if you have selected two instances of the same template, and each with unique changes?

If choosing only one instance per template, then which one? Should it be first in hierarchy, or should it be first in current selection, but selection order is order based (selecting in descending order produces different list than selecting in ascending order).

@Maksims Thanks for your thoughts on this. But if there's a bug in the current functionality, please open an issue with explicit steps that clearly demonstrate the problem. If this is done, we can methodically work through all issues and get them addressed (I've now closed ~80 in the past 2 weeks).
