Oddly, support directed me here, but anyway, the guide for mass updating units appears broken. There is no Inherit option, and also cloning units isn’t working. Anyone know of a work around rather than manually updating the ~800 units individually?

This guide?

What part isn’t working / is inaccurate? I don’t have time to set up a test this evening but I will try over the weekend, if someone else doesn’t beat me to it.

Yeah, the **Advanced Cloning: Mass Propagation**

I don’t have **Inherit Parent** and **Clone Override Parent Settings** options at all. I can’t mass update any units unless I go through and click the same 3 archers and update the common column. But that’s still doing it for every unit for every race. For some reason, the parent path isn’t updating when cloning units.
