Bulk import to selected cities

[Soxirella]

Instead of having just one button to import city config to all cities, can we have a checkbox where we can choose which cities to have the tool import the config to.

So instead of running your code on a list of all cities, you'd run it on an array of chosen items.

Or you could just copy the code and drop it in your selected cities.

Or you could do what Sox asks for, which would make it much more user friendly, especially for nations that have significantly more than 13 cities.

I don't think this can be implemented cause Alex has denied new feature requests to import system multiple times because (I Quote)

Probably not, only because it works as is, and I set it up as-is because it was easy to configure with the existing code. To do a preview would require a drastic reconfiguration of the import system

Simply said, he's got a pretty screwed backend which he is not getting to time to fix. Which is also fine since he made this game as a kid. Just saying.

Technically speaking, he is probably running the config in a loop of some kind. So in PHP it may be something such as:

foreach ($cities as $city) {
    $city->import($json_input);
}
	

He just needs to add a second box where we'd put:

[city1,city2,city3]

Then the code would change to...

$city_list = [city1,city2,city3];
foreach ($city_list as $city) {
    $city->import($json_input);
}
