  • Loop all users change setting Mystic?

    From zharvek@21:2/132 to All on Fri Jan 2 08:09:10 2026
    Does anyone know of a way, maybe other then using MPL/MPY to loop through all users in the database and make a single change to them?

    I would like to change the Date Format for all users (already updated the setting for new users defaults). Im hoping there is some example code or function to loop over users and modify the settings that you can edit say via the GE menu command.

    Thanks!

    I'm not certain - but in File/Message Areas I can press... ESC? Or some key to batch select Areas and make changes to various settings; does it have that for Users??

    Sorry, not SURE...

    Thanks for the reply!

    Yeah the mass/bulk selection that works in most places using TAB does not work in users, but I just ended up using some MPL with the GetThisUser and PutThisUser into a script that runs on login anyway. They login, it will set the correct value.
