Abilitity to Mass edit Device Properties

Question

Having the Abilitity to mass edit Device Properties.   I have over 100 pieces of equipment that don't seem to be pulling "Device Type", "Vendor" etc.  Having to modify each one is taking forever it would be nice to mass edit them.  I noticed those attributes are listed as read only.

Is there any way to work around this?

Great!   We're still trying to understand why the attribute discovery would work for some devices and not others.  Can you confirm that the devices failing had the same SNMP community string (or SNMP enabled)?

Thanks Guys :)

Thanks for the device info.  We'll look into why this isn't showing up.    Matt, our ipMonitor dev lead came through with a  brilliant workaround:

* Perform an export in the system settings window just selecting devices / groups
* Copy the XML into text editor
* Modify data in the vendor tag using search and replace
* Import the XML

Let me know how this works for you.
