When selecting multiple objects, manual property set definitions no longer say *varies*

[Tallans422]

In previous releases if I select multiple objects that have manual property set definitions with different values, it would be listed as *varies* in properties and I could click to edit the text that was in my first selection, and hit enter to apply to all.  In 2026 that feature appears to be missing, nothing shows up if the definition is different between objects.  Has anyone else come across this?  These property sets were built many releases ago so I'm curious if this is an issue for manual properties built in 2026 as well.

I can confirm your observation for text-type Manual properties.  For properties created in a previous version as well as those created in 2026, in AutoCAD Architecture 2026, with multiple objects selected and differing values in the property, the value shows as blank, not *VARIES*.  I did get *VARIES* for an integer-type Manual property, a Formula property, and an Automatic property.

The same file opened in AutoCAD Architecture 2024 and 2020 showed *VARIES* for those text-type Manual properties.

I was able to enter text into the blank area and have it update the values for all selected items.  But it would be nice to know that I was overwriting non-empty-string values there.

Thanks for confirming what I was experiencing David.  Much appreciated.  This has been a pretty important feature for us throughout the years (Autodesk are you listening?).
