Problem

Changes to multiple level attributes in Properties dialog are not
applying to selection.

Solution

Possible Reason:
With multiple levels selected, the Properties dialog will display the level attributes of the first level in list of selected levels. If this value matches the needed value it will not be possible to apply this value to the rest of the selection. This is because the dialog did not
detect a change to apply since the value in the dialog did not actually change.

Example:
Level 01 - color=3
Level 02 - color=5
Level 03 - color=10

If these 3 levels are selected, then the Properties dialog is opened (Right-click > Properties), the attributes of the first level will populate the dialog, which in this example is "Level 01". If it is desired to change the other 2 level color attributes to be color "3", it
will not be directly possible because the color attribute in the dialog is already displaying "3".

Solution #1:
1. Select a different attribute value .
2. Click Apply.
3. Select the desired attribute value.
4. Click Apply.

Solution #2
-Use the Level manager level list instead of Properties dialog.
