Changing icon color with batch edit does not propagate to all child entries

Changing icon color with batch edit does not propagate to all child entries

avatar

RDM 2025.3.30.0 installed.
Using SQL server backend.

This issue isn't related to the current release...it's been an annoyance for a while.

I create templates where the parent folder is the physical location of the site, subfolders with equipment/connection types, and the actual connections under each relevant connection subfolder.

The default color I use for the folder and connection icon is forest green. This is the primary corporation color. However, I have two secondary companies which are separate from the primary company. I use gray and pink for each secondary company, respectively.

Both secondary companies use the same primary company templates. I just need to modify the icon color to match the established color scheme. I use batch edit at the parent folder, edit entries (general settings), and override the color on the general blade.

When I make this change, the color does change on all entries, but the folders remain forest green. I'm forced to manually update each folder to the correct color.

While I understand this batch edit is technically for "entries", I don't see a way to override folder color as a batch edit process.

I don't know if this is a bug or feature request.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding this,

If you are looking to Batch Edit Folder entries, you would need to use the "Advanced" search as mentioned in this knowledge base article:
https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/commands/edit/batch-edit/#folder-and-entry-selection

You can set the "Connection Type" to "Folder" and select all folders you wish to batch edit from the search results.

Let me know if this helps,

Best regards,

Samuel Dery
