Updating all types in application [message #1830325]

Hello,

is there a way to update all blocks of a specific type in my project? I have used a block a few times across the entire application and found a bug. After I fixed it, the monitor showed me strange values. After updating everything made sense again and I managed to fix the issue.

Now I would need to update all instances where I used this custom FB again. Is there a feature planned to automate this process?

Thanks for pointing this out. We are aware that updating types is currently a hard and error prone process. There are no plans for implementing your suggestion in the near future but we'll keep it in mind for our next plans when we work on the type management.

I learned today that we have an update all types feature which will update all types in the currently open editor. Would this help you?

Sorry for the late response I somehow missed the notification on your second response. Yes this is exactly what I was looking for. Where can I find this option?
