If you have multiple things selected and they have different states, the "indicator" next to the value should appear as the odd "boolean in between". Clicking on it toggles them all to a single state (doesn't really matter if its on or off), and if whatever state gets kicked back is not the one that's needed, one more click does the trick.
I could see data matching being a common component parameter, but that's about it. -Damien On Mar 20, 9:18 am, David Rutten <[email protected]> wrote: > But that doesn't answer the question. > If you select multiple components, they may have different preview > states.
