Batch change script or command to change the detail viewport display mode in layouts?

Scripting
1

I’m working on large projects that require anywhere from 2-6 details on a layout. Is there a script, command, or plugin that is available that would allow me to batch change the display mode of the details on a current page or all pages at once?

I currently need to click into the detail to set the display mode for that detail and this becomes very tedious when I need to change many details in a set.

The match properties do not accomplish this task and this would be a great addition for layouts.

Any help is greatly appreciated! :grinning:

Hi,

See if the attached script works for you:
set_all_details_mode.py (1.7 KB)
