Is there a way to change the lengths of multiple walls quickly in Revit without having the walls be a group detail? I have a length of wall with 5 foot concrete panels that need to grow to be 6' panels. Is there a way to change all of their lengths at once? Or would there be a way to possible match properties to do that, like you can do for wall height?
Create a wall schedule, sort by wall type then length, unitemize so they grouped into one row, and change the value.
And match type properties tool only matches type properties, length is an instance property.
Thank you for helping! I've done what you've said and have a wall schedule pulled up with them sorted correctly, but the length column value can't be edited in the table. Is there a way to enable that?

You are right, we cannot change Length via a schedule. I think you would need to redo them as a group, or place length dim to those wall and assign them to a Global parameter, then change the parameter from 5 to 6.
Can you explain a little more what your end goal is? I'm wondering if you'd be better off with those panels as families.
It would be nice to have a picture of what are you looking for. If I understood well try this: use a default fixed distance (6') vertical grid curtain wall and replace default panels with your concrete wall panels. It will keep a constant measure wich can be changed anytime and will let you schedule and count all your panel instances.
I think the OP just wants to select a whole bunch of 5'-0" Length Walls and change all of their Lengths to 6'-0" in one fell swoop.

Yea but he said it was a wall with panels he wanted to change from 5' to 6'. You might be right, but I just want to confirm what the actual end goal of this was.
@barthbradley has it right. I called them panels because they're concrete. And I was just asking if there was a way to adjust them all if they were to change length, just to cut down on the clicking/dragging/typing that the change entails. Ideally, I would like to be able to do it no matter what each wall is hosting, since project to project the design complexity of each panel would change, and was wondering if this had been solved already in the past, or if I had overlooked something relatively simple along the way.
When working with panel type walls, sometimes is preferable to do as @mhiserZFHXS said, modelling a adjustable level-based family.
But I have an idea, it might be a little cumbersome, but if there are not hundreds of panels, will be a little less annoying than the clicking/dragging/typing routine:
1, select all the walls,
2, convert temporal length dimensions into permantents,
3, select one of them and create a label,
4, edit the label by clicking the "pencil" button wich now appears on dimension,
5, change the value of global parameter to 6',
6, select the dimensions of remainin walls and apply the label to them
