Attribute usability improvement suggestion

Is there some way to change how attributes are added to properties. I need to go set the Display attribute's Name and Description property on every single property in every single table. Currently, this means a lot of clicks. Is there a way to maybe have a pane that has certain attribute properties already listed, so I can just click on property, enter value in pane, done?
Anything you can do to improve this process would be greatly appreciated!

At the moment, adding an attribute to multiple properties/entities simultaneously is not available. We will consider implementing this functionality and post here about the results.
As for editing attributes, the attributes that were already added to a property/entity should be available in the property tool window (inside the Attributes node).

In the latest 4.1.55 build of Entity Developer (and in the new builds of data providers as well), it is possible to edit a single attribute for multiple properties at once. The new build of Entity Developer can be downloaded from
http://www.devart.com/entitydeveloper/download.html
(the trial and free versions only) or from Registered Users' Area (for users with active subscription only).
For more information about the fixes and improvements available in the new build, please refer to
