feature request Preset update cue stack update

Would there be a way to add a modifier to update preset that would travel the cue stack and update that change into the preset?

Example: 

Preset 1 contains Channel 1 at full and channel 2 is null.

Record cue 1,2,5, and 10 with preset 1.

It is decided to add channel 2 into preset 1, there is a modifier that will visit cues 1,2,5, and 10 to mark channel 2 as captured by the preset

This way, you do not need to traverse the cue stack to find each instance of the preset and manually reapply the preset.

    Based on what criteria?. Would this modifier be:  If preset 1 is used in any cue, on any set of channels and any set of parameters, add channel 2 as well?

    Thanks!

    If I understand Tom right this is a function that MA3 have called recast. https://youtu.be/a7wkrqZIGgM

    So if you have a preset with filtered attributes, and ad another attribute it updates the show file and all cues. 

    I'm not sure we can use it that much. it only works when you run full presets. If you filter them out in a cue and "Recast" the desk will probably just overrun the filtering. So if you haven't used the full preset all the time it won't work.

    Not sure if he was asking for the recast as you can basically achieve that with Query Preset N enter Preset N in blind which re applies the preset to any channels that have the preset in them adding the extra attributes like recast does.   (You might need to macro that into a loop if you want it to do it to all cues).

    I think what he was after was adding a channel,  which for a single cue would just work as chan 1 thru 9999 preset N as it would apply the preset to any channel that was now in the preset.   The tricker bit is to filter to the cues that have preset N in it and only apply to those.  (maybe I can do that with Query - not used it enough to know)
