Has anyone fold a was to update variables on a foldercard, on multiple foldes at the same time?

I have some variables which are controlled by the folder datacard. Working perfect on new projects, but I want to update the values on legacy projects.
I have made a dispatch to update the variables I want (Combining 2 variables in a 3rd variable), and this works fine. But only for 1 folder at the time. If I choose multiple folders, I will get the value from the first folder in all folders.

All the tricks I know by now are for handling file variables. But how to handle folders?

not folder related, but do you have a documents section (iirc) in your dispatch to allow multiple files selection?
all the dispatch statements should be inside that section to be applied to each selection properly.

@csh I can't think of a way in the UI or dispatch to do this. If I had to do this in house, we'd write a T-SQL script to modify the folder variable in the "VariableValue" in the DB directly. This table is fairly safe to edit....just back it up first.

@jcapriotti That could be a way to do it, eventhough i was hoping for something more simple
Thanks
