set color scale etc for all children

[Kameelpeerd]

I have a point cloud object with dozens of children. The colors are determined by a scalar field. I need to make the same changes to the color settings (color scale and SF display parameters) for all children. I know how to do this for individual children, but as there are dozens of children, I would like to do this for all children at the same time (to save a lot of time and to be sure all children are displayed the same way). How can I do this?
Thanks in advance!

Currently this is not possible. One would have to modify the code to allow for multiple selection (I know Luca Penasa had some ideas to do this, if you are a developer or know one I could give you some pointers).

Thanks very much for your quick answer, Daniel!
In the meantime, I found 2 work-arounds, each with its own disadvantages:
- set each child to have the same color scale name and change that color scale. This probably requires a reload of the data each time (have not tried this out)
- merge the children into one (but that way I need to keep both versions in parallel and use the version that contains the info I need at that particular moment. this is what I do now)

I now realise that in order to make this usable for all/many use cases, the solution I asked for soon becomes very complicated to use and to implement...

Thanks again!
