Summary

This patch changes the tool tip for the "Copy To Selected Button" operator.
The exiting tool tip for this operator suggests that it will "copy property to selected objects or bones".

However, it will only copies the property value to the selected objects or bones if the property already exists on the selected items.
It does not copy the property.

I have updated to the tool tip to more accurately describe this.
("Copy the property value to selected objects or bones if property exists")

Aaron, I believe you review tooltip patches, yes?

I prefer:

"Copy the property's value from the active object to the same property of all selected objects if the same property exists"

Hi Aaron,

That might suggest that it only works on the object level, when really it works on bones as well.

What if the tooltip didn't explicitly say 'object' or 'bone' but rather just "from active to selected"....

Update:
"Copy the property's value from active to selected if the same property exists"

How about:

"Copy the property's value from the active item to the same property of all selected items if the same property exists"

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Apr 23 2022, 4:06 AM
