I want to set one custom field that will apply to several properties. This isn't currently an option in your system, This should not be hard to do as you already have the code to pick out specific properties.
Here are use cases, for example:
Trash Collection
Neighborhood amenities
Disclaimers
General Guest Instructions
Specific Owner Rules applied to an owner's properties
As it is you need to add a field into each property which completely defeats the purpose.
From your tech
"As the type of field code needed for what you're hoping to accomplish is a property type field code, our system currently has no way to automatically batch update the custom fields for any properties of your choosing to match the custom field of the 1st property you configure that custom field on.
Thusly, manually configuring the custom field per property is necessary"
custom fields already apply per property. You need to populate it with data specific to each property.

@BlueMtnCabins
You misunderstood what he was asking for. He wants to be able to tag multiple properties with the exact same information in Custom Field. Right now if you have multiple properties that need the same information you have to copy and paste it to each property instead of just sharing it across.
If you need the same field & same content shared across multiple properties, define is as account level field?
If you need the same field & same content shared across multiple properties, define is as account level field?
But wouldn't that then mean that the information is applied to ALL properties in one's account? I think the objective is to have custom field contents automatically apply to a group of properties within one's account, but not all of them. Admittedly this becomes a bit tricky... If one had the opportunity to create groups of properties within one's account for custom field purposes, how many groups could one create? And how many groups could a property belong to? Maybe that's not really a problem.
Maybe the request shouldn't be for "Custom Field applying to multiple properties" but rather the addition of a Feature called Property Groups, whereby Groups can be created which properties can be assigned to, and that the Groups can be used in triggers.
In the setup for the Group, there would be a field for Content that would work exactly like a Custom Field, and the contents could be sent to guests or used in the same manner as Custom Fields are now. The OwnerRez user could change the Group Field content once and this would change what the guests or other end recipient sees/experiences from the Custom Field for all of the properties in that Group.
At the same time, perhaps it would be helpful that tags could also be automatically assigned to all members of a group, allowing for more flexibility in what one could do with them.
In the property setup there would be a means for assigning each property to any of the Groups created by the user.
That pretty much it.
the idea is to reduce data entry and have properties with identical data have some way to manage that once at a group level rather than copying and pasting manually for each one which is difficult with many properties.
thanks for looking and voting for this.
