How can I change field properties at a time? lets say on 200+ fields at a time?

    I love this software, been learning about it in last two weeks. The problem that I have is I like to be able to change, lets say size of a Number Field from small to large on 200+ fields and add Column_6 to all of them. I am changing them one by one, but sometimes after changing a bunch and saving, i see that nothing has changed, or the field have switched positions. I also have been trying to export and import from Mysql and changing the field attributes, but somehow it doesn't give me the required result. I am not a programmer but can find my way around. I thought there might script that i can put in mysql to change the field type on specific field at the same time. Any help would be appriciated.

    I'm afraid there is no way to change the properties of multiple fields all at once.
    If you are familiar with PHP coding, you can write a script that directly modify the "ap_form_elements" table. All field properties are being stored there.

    Thanks Yuniar,
    I already figured out a way. As you mentioned modifying or updating fields in that table will change things.
