In 4.0.0b1, this works:

  1. Select multiple lights
  2. Select Named for the X-Plane light Type
  3. Enter the name of a light into the light Name (e.g. amb_street_light3)
  4. Right-click both the Type and Name field values and choose Copy to Selected

In 4.0.0b1, the last step ensures all selected lights are set to Named with the correct light name.
In 4.0.0b2, the last step correctly sets the Type field but not the Name field.

I have also tested this other light types and their fields:

Automatic lights - the Name field does not copy.
Custom lights - All fields copy across correctly (Size, Texture Coordinates, Enable RGB, RGB Overrides).
Manual Param lights - The Name field does not copy, the Parameters field does copy.

Great find! This is related to #566! Will be fixed for the next version

The answer is that the RNA "name" usage is not respected when copying to selected apparently

…No mutation during __init__ and the user still trusts the UI. If they enter " notreal " it still breaks for them.
