Changing Children's Type/Data Source

When working with nested groups, is there a quick way to change the ‘Type’ of all children?

I’m repurposing an existing element with a different dataset, so I’m making it a new RE. Do I have to manually go through every parent and child and change the Type and Data Source, or is there a faster way?

There is no faster way

No but at times there is a better way to start…do not put parent element thing on all child elements if that thing is already stored as the Reusable elements thing, and anywhere you need to display the values through an element in the Reusable, just use a dynamic expression to reference the Reusable elements thing instead of relying on parent element since often we have elements that are child elements that do not display data and we might get over zealous in our use of parent elements thing in expectation that we need to always pass that on from one generation to the next…like in my family, my great great great grandfather had all the looks, brains and brawn any man might need, needless to say this has not been passed on through each generation.
