Editing an inputfield: Propagation to all instances

[#1]

I want to calculate a weighted sum for several objects which have several aspects:

sum_for_object = weight_1*aspect_1 + weight_2*aspect_2 + ... + weight_n*aspect_n

My task is to make the weights in this summation editable, but always for the summation for every object, independent of any selection.

I declared the field for the weights as 'inputfield'. Now I get a separate value for, let's say, weight_1 for every object, these separate values are OK for me. When editing the value of weight_1 (inputfield), I want all the separate values of weight_1 to be updated for all objects, in order to have them all equal in the summations for every object.

Anyone has an idea? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

again, I may be overlooking your actual difficulty - but what about making the weight_factor(s) into (a) variable(s)?`

=> That way, whenever that variale is edited, it will be used for every object, no?
