SSE Mass edit property of script attached to list of objects

[applesmmmmmmmm]

A lot of objects have a particular script attached to them. This script needs to have a property set on each of the objects to reference a quest script I made to add an MCM page. Each object is going to reference the same property value, and I was wondering if there is an elegant way of changing a large number of these references at once through some kind of batch edit. I can of course go through one by one and set them, but with the load time of the windows I'd rather not resort to that.

I attempted to do batch editing in the Creation Kit by selecting the objects together and pressing "-" to bring up the batch edit window, but it appears those instructions are outdated.

 

I'd appreciate it if anyone can offer advice on how to accomplish this.

In this case, you do not want to add a property. I needed to do this very thing with my Random Mining MCM mod and rather than creating a property and editing every instance I opted to do the following method. Example speaks the loudest:

 

  Reveal hidden contents

 

Add a local variable to reference the script within the empty state

abim_RM_MCM_QuestScript MCMScript

Within the first event ever possible to run on the object define the local variable by using GetFormFromFile to assign the quest and cast it to the quest's script. In my case the event was OnCellAttach

    MCMScript = (Game.GetFormFromFile(0x00000D62,"Random Mining MCM.esp") as Quest) as abim_RM_MCM_QuestScript

Pass whatever property values needed from the MCM script into local variables. Can also call upon functions on the MCM script this way too.

        Int EV = MCMScript.ExpValue as Int
        String MS = MCMScript.MSType

Great! I was trying to figure out how to do something similar to set a default state for the reference earlier, but that didn't seem possible. Thanks for the quick reply!
