Edit multiple object's properties at once
This seems like it would have been suggested before, but the search bar doesn't seem to be working this morning, so sorry if this is a duplicate.
If I select multiple object, then in the properties of one object I tick/untick a checkbox, change a value, etc. I would expect it to change across all objects. While this isn't the current behavior, Blender has a "copy to selected," feature that works with most properties, however things like selected vertex colors, UV maps, and more still don't have a proper way to change them on multiple objects at a time.
I'm currently working on a project with hundreds of assets that need UV maps and light maps, and manually switching all the objects to the lightmap UVs is getting ridiculous. It would be nice if selecting all the objects, then clicking my second UVs switched the UVs for all of them

Yes - I am kinda spamming this in all related proposals right now but we realy need to get ONE related proposal on top of the page for visibility. Sorry if you've read this in a few other proposals today. It't just really high time it gets more visibiliy in a single proposal as opposed to several small ones with only a handful of upvotes.
This should be part of "edit multiple propoerties of all selected objects at once". Not just for singular values or just modifiers. For everything.

When it comes to properties changes, you can do that by holding the <kbd>⎈ Ctrl</kbd> key.
Agreed, but it has been discussed ad nauseum in other posts.
Workaround via addons untill developers make it possible:
I know few addons that somehow allows you to work on multiple objects uv channels: ZenUV , UVtookit , AssetCreationToolkit
I think this is planned, or at least I saw it somewhere (right now you have to hold down alt while editing a property to edit selection - the plan is to switch it so alt is just for active while normal using the buttons works on the entire selection) Perhaps the reason is design (for when selection have different values, whether to increment or unify, and how to display it) or that not all properties support multiple editing yet.
