Where is everybody gone? Becoming a lonely place here now.
This was on the list of items that are my person top 10 annoyances. I have dozens of views in some tables and every time I make changes to the table, I don’t want every view look different, different order sorting of fields for instance.
So up to now I had to manually copy the new view setup (e.g. order, visibility etc) to other views.
Well I am hooked up on this Browserview extension for Chrome for automation. It’s fantastic and I found one of great and safe uses is to use to populate the view settings accross.
It even has a paranoid setting to only do step by step automation. I tested and it works great.
I still have to highlight the view I want to populate the settings. But then I press Browserview button and it does the rest.
Saves time and less strain on carpals.
Couple of tips:
Set the URL for the base only. Make sure only one browser window open. selecting elements on the page can be sometime tricky, the key is to select a generic element valid across other tabs but unique enough on the page.
