Hey folks,

When I want to update the OpenAI model for multiple columns in my app , I have to do this individually which is a pain. Is there a way I can “replace all” or some similar function that I could do this all in one go?

Cheers.

Save it as a Template column in your User Profile row, and refer to that column wherever it’s used. Then when you need to change it, just change the Template.

A simple and obvious solution. Thanks Darren.

Not the first time either 😃
