Mass-edit/ Bulk-edit / Quick-edit /Default policies discussion thread #559
Comments
We should be careful when auto-applying stuff by default; ideally user should always trigger the changes manually (including manual use of bulk application tools). See: #541 (comment) |

We already have default policies in the options policy tab. And they do not take more than a few bytes to save/load. Setting up default policies does not need any storage. We don't need to save anything if we know they apply to the whole city. We only need to store information if the user override the defaults.
That's true. But sometimes default policies can be useful such as:
|
There are some highway roads that work similar to avenues (single road with both directions), for example NExt2 and UK Motorways - will they work the same as avenue above if split in to two one-way roads? |
The user needs to know:
P.S. Change notes are not a good place where you tell about the feature :) It should be in game UI somehow, in a tooltip, help, or naturally offered via visual hints. |
^ that comment is going in the UI style guide! |
I should put wiki help and advisor. |

The following issues
#148 #542 #541 #539 #540 #523 #537 #557
discuss how to mass edit rues in different circumstances. I create a this thread for a general discussion about mass edits.
First I like to distinguish between these concepts (and I am also introducing terminology I hope everyone likes it :) ) :
A. Default policy: Rules that apply by default to all of the city. see screenshot 1.
B. Quick edit: quickly apply commonly used road rules to a junction/road/roundabout such as #542 #541 #539 #540. (the user have some control over this in the options)
C. Bulk edit: The user can select multiple segments/junctions and apply traffic rules. This takes more time than quick edit but gives user more flexibility. This is useful for cases that are not so common (or we have not thought of). (Issue
TBC#560) .D. Mass edit: a general term for Bulk-edit or Quick edit.
Currently #541 #539 are done by quick edit. but in future if possible I want to make it default policy so that the user does not even have do ctrl+shift+click create priority road or fix roundabout rules. I am not sure if this is possible.
Another improvement is that the policies could be district specific. (issue
TBC#561).The 'Adjust road selection tool' is currently being used as quick-edit in #542. If we can remember the selection then we can automatically apply rules when user attaches new roads to the priority road/roundabout (issue
TBC#557).as for bulk edit the user may select different segments/junctions by ALT+SHIFT+CLICKing (or any other combination of modifier keys we may decide ) on them. The 'Adjust road selection toot' (currently begin used for quick-edit) has good potential for being used as a tool to select a tool to select multiple road segments for bulk edit.
EDIT: created #568 regarding undoing mass edits.
