Change a editor on a property, changes it multiple places

[Welander1994]

Which Umbraco version are you using? (Please write the exact version, example: 10.1.0)

14.3

Bug summary

if i have two properties that use the same editor type, and I change one of them to something else it will also change the other one.
I would understand if you have a configured editor and you have applied that to multiple properties that it will change everywhere if I changed the configuration of it.
But if I switch from standard editor on a property to another standard editor, it should not change on other properties,
Let's say I have two properties that both are textstring, and I change one of them to use RTE instead, it will change both of them, is this intended behavior?

It looks like what is happening is that when I try to change to another editor, it updates/edits the one I'm on instead of switching.

@Welander1994 Thank you for raising this issue. 🙏

I'd to clarify the functionality, it is intentional, a long standing feature. The main difference in v14 is the missing labelling around it. For example, in v13, the property's selected Data Type had Edit and Change actions, where as in v14 the title acts as the Edit and the Change action is present.

Then within the edit Data Type modal, in v13, a notice was labelled at the top: "All Document Types using this editor will get updated with the new settings." to signal the intent.

For v14, we should have the equivalent messaging.

Although we may not re-introduce the separate Edit action/button, as clicking on the reference title (to open/edit) brings UI/UX consistency with how that component is reused in other areas, e.g. for various Picker editors, etc.
