How to modify the light power of a group of lights

Is it possible to modify the light power of grouped lights? Or do I have to modify each light of the group individually?

The Modify Furniture dialogue box doesn't seem to allow the light power of a group of lights to be modified

If it is the same model repeated in the plan, you can select several and edit their properties using Modify furniture. ok

Re: How to modify the light power of a group of lights

Thanks, ok, yes I know that, but if you have 20 light sources all having the same properties (e.g. having the same light power) that are grouped into 5 groups, it's not convenient to ungroup them before selecting them all. I'd like to be able to change the light power of all of them using the Modify furniture on the group of light sources without having to ungroup them. Is there a way to do this?

Re: How to modify the light power of a group of lights

In the furniture list, expand the groups and instead of selecting the groups themselves, add the lights of those groups to the selection by clicking on them while pressing Ctrl key under Windows / Linux or cmd key under Mac OS X. Then, you'll be able to change the light power with Furniture > Modify menu item.

Re: How to modify the light power of a group of lights

Thank you, that's a good workaround.
May I request an enhancement in the next release to enable the light power of the grouped lights to be changed directly, as a group?
