Broadcasting Column Info/Properties and Local Data Filter

[MShroff]

What inspired this wish list request? 

Column Info/properties (e.g., data type and modeling type) and Local Data Filter settings (in the case of multiple reports generated using By variables) have to be individually set.

What is the improvement you would like to see? 

Enable broadcasting for Column info/properties and LDF settings. Currently, the former can be accomplished by copying/pasting column properties but it would be faster to do it while initially setting the properties.

Why is this idea important?

Column properties and attributes such as data type and modeling type can be standardized using the Standardize Attributes option under the Cols menu. This might accomplish the first part of the request. Broadcasting local data filter settings will need further investigation.

the LDF settings can be copied and pasted.

so, broadcasting LDF settings could be scripted.

maybe with a list which allows the user to select the target report (+ apply to all).
