Editing component parameters in Altium Designer 18

[chitransh92]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to edit the component parameters efficiently and would like to know is there some shortcut or template to edit the component parameters where the "Name" part can be copied from somewhere else and the "value" can be edited later.
Currently we can just use "Add" button to add the parameters one by one which can be tiring for 100-200 parts.
Attaching image of the component parameter ribbon for reference.

Thanks!

I always import all the parameters through Supplier Search. In AD18 they call it "Part Search". When you are in schematic symbol library, click on Panels button located bottom right, find Part Search. Then find there your component, right click, Import .... That is the way how I fill up the parameters.

PS: I am not sure if there is a different way to copy somehow the parameters for example from Excel or something like that.

If you are working with over 300 components adding manually will take your life..
