ThingWorx 9.6.3 – How to Bulk Edit Properties After Binding Tags?

[SK_11297561]

I'm using ThingWorx 9.6.3 and adding tags to a Thing using the Manage Bindings feature. The properties get added as read-only by default and are not set to be persistent or logged.

Is there a way to bulk edit these properties after binding them to enable persistence, logging, and set the appropriate dataChangeType (like ALWAYS or VALUE)? I don't see any bulk edit option in the UI.

Any suggestions on how to handle this efficiently would be really helpful.

Option 1) Use API

Option 2) Export Entity to XML, change in XML, reimport.

Can you elaborate on the first option.

Depending on what you want to do, you could e.g. run SetPropertyLogging on your entity to enable logging. If you do that in a loop you can do that for all properties in one go. For other options there is no such API and you would have to remove and re-add the property using

GetPropertyDefinition, RemovePropertyDefinition and AddPropertyDefinition. There are similar services for bindings.
