Remove F-Curve Modifiers from Multiple Curves

Proposal

Like in the title there should be a way to remove f-curve modifiers from multiple curves in the graph-editor.


Problem description:

I copied an F-Curve Modifier to multiple curves and I wanted to change a value and noticed that the way to do it (at least as far as I could figure out) is to set up one modifier and copy-paste it to all the other curves.

But then I realized that I wanted to change the value again. I couldn't find any way to remove all F-Curve Modifiers at once which is very bad because it's a character animation with lots of animated bones. So I basically have to delete the modifier(s) from every single curve? (If there is a way to do it, which is not writing a phyton script I'd be happy to know.)


What I found was this proposal which is very old and I thought I "copy" it to Right-Click Select because I didn't find it here.

In general I think the F-Curve Modifiers are a very useful tool! But there is a lot of room for improvement! I think it's a very hidden feature that deserves a more prominent space in the Curve Editor and in Blender in general. Would be nice to have access to it in the Dope Sheet for example... but thats another topic.

Agreed that the current workflow doesn't quite scale if you have to work on dozens of curves at once without becoming tedious.

As you say, you can copy your modifier to a bunch of curves at once, but removing them or making adjustments to a subset is not simple and requires lots of manual intervention.

Would be very helpful indeed. We're animating on two's on a feature with the f-curve modifier and a colleague wrote a workaround script to apply and remove the modifier on multiple f-curves.
