See and Edit Mission Waypoints Parameters in a Tabular View
It would be a huge time-saver to view all the main Waypoint settings in a tabular view - without having to step through each one individually and scan for values/settings.
Current it is VERY tedious and time consuming to review 40, 50 or 100 + Waypoint values individually.
Better to allow a tabular view and editing of them collectively.
Example - Altitude, Drone Heading,Gimbal Pitch, etc. would be collectively presented on screen in a tabular display for all Waypoints.

Not saying there aren't missions that might need this many waypoints, but you might consider using path actions instead to reduce the number of waypoints you actually need.
Not really simplifying the editing volume. Just making it more complex by exchanging Waypoints for Path Actions. A far better solution is to see/edit all the Waypoints parameters in a table. At least you could glance through a column and spot any incorrect settings for any parameter. Example would be inspect the Gimbal pitch settings for all the Waypoints all at once, rather than opening up each Waypoint individually and comparing. Think of it like using Excel for editing and mass updating.
I just had to update 40+ Waypoints by moving the Gimbal pitch for each one from -32 to -35 degrees. Had to do them 1 by one. Very tedious and time consuming.
Again, not saying there aren’t cases that might need this many waypoints, but it sounds like there may be an easier way to accomplish what you are doing that doesn’t involving editing this many waypoints. For example, if you have a waypoint with a -32 gimbal pitch, there is no reason to set that gimbal pitch on the next waypoint. If you just don’t specify anything it will continue using the previous waypoint’s settings.
Thanks Jim. But hat was just one edge case example. In general visually scanning a column of values looking for outliers is easier than opening each object individually and scrolling around looking for it one at a time.
