Currently, the Highlight tool requires the user to validate each layer one at a time. We would like to be able to select multiple layers at once.
Our workflow is to perform all validation (topology, attribute rules, Highlight tool) in the area of the "job" before it is reconciled/posted to Default. A job generally impacts all polygon layers, which means that in order to fully validate, we have to select the feature layers one-by-one in the Highlight tool drop-down. If we could highlight issues in all of the layers at once, it would prevent us from accidentally missing a layer.
I'm picturing a layer list that would allow you to toggle the layers you want to highlight off and on.
