Bulk update of widget settings in Cloudability or Apptio BI dashboards

When building out elaborate dashboards, often you have tabs, sections or the whole report with repeated settings, e.g. the similar filter and metric but different dimensions and types of widgets. Later on, you might decide to, for example, change from Amortized to Adjusted Amortized metric of Transaction Type <> Tax to Transaction Type = Usage. Currently you have to go through each widget and change it manually which takes a lot of time. If it would be possible bulk change a set of widgets or copy/paste filters or metrics between widgets, it would improve usability a lot.

In addition to increased usability (efficiency gains), the feature would eliminate manual mistakes and ensure consistency in dashboards.
