Bulk update parameters across device instances

Update a parameter across all application instances for selected devices in VHQ.

Use this when you need to update one parameter's value across every instance on a set of devices, without visiting each instance individually.

A checkbox, Update parameters across all instances, on the Edit Parameter for Application screen lets you bulk-update an existing parameter across every instance on selected devices. It's unselected by default. This only supports editing values — you can't add, delete, or reorder instances with it. Updating a value in one place updates it throughout all instances for all selected devices.

This works in both the Device Search and Device Profile screens. On save, VHQ shows Parameters successfully updated. Returning to this screen later, the previously entered values are no longer shown.

Example: Hundreds or thousands of card ranges may be configured across multiple devices. Among many CardRange instances, a parameter like PAN High or PAN Low may be common. Instead of visiting every instance individually, you can update it once and have the value applied throughout all instances on all selected devices.
