Edit path offset for multiple circuits at once

I have a project where i want to increase the default path offset for many circuits at once. I just want to grab all circuits and adjust the path offset from say 9' to 20' .  

 

Right now I select each circuit in the system browser, and then change the pathoffset manually for each circuit individually. Selecting multiple circuits at once doesn't give me the path-offset tool or that parameter in properties. 

the circuit schedule doesn't have a parameter for path offset.

Next time I can be smarter and change the default:

The Circuit Path Offset built in parameter is accessible in the API, so you should be able to do this with Dynamo.

I played around with this a little bit this morning and couldn't find a way to display that information without selecting the Edit Path button. if it can be accessed through the API as @Joseph_Peel suggests, try to write a Dynamo script to do what you need. there are all sorts of free resources out there to learn Dynamo. other option is to find a Dynamo script that either does it already, or that you can modify to make it do what you want.

Thanks, both. I'll look into this with dynamo if it comes up again. I suspect I may be better off to choose a longer default value (20' instead of the oob 9' ) and just leave them as is even if some are " too long".
