Mass Editing Tokens from Game Settings Menu

As I am running a WotC official adventure, one issue I ran into is that the Roll20 tokens for creatures all show their nametags to players. For various rules and roleplaying reasons, I personally like NPC tokens to be defaulted to not displaying their names to players (doesn't make sense for players to know what a creature or named creature's name is without ever seen it before).  A feature that I would like to see is the ability to edit attributes on all or a group of some tokens from the game settings menu en masse that would update the tokens on the character sheets. Right now, I am going through the painstaking process of "hiding" all of the tokens names individually on the token page. If there were a way from the settings menu to "check box" this token, this token, and this token then change the attributes all at once, that would be a godsend. It could also be used to set up tokens all at once. Rather than setting each and every bar to "npc_ac" individually, you can set all of the token bar 2 to "npc_ac" and they would automatically calculate from the attribute on the assigned sheet. If there's already a way to do this or something similar, please let me know.
I think you can set the defaults in the game settings section (outside of the game, from one of the menus where you press the "launch game" button). Once those defaults are set, you can enter the game, go to the settings tab, and there's a button with a label like "set default settings"  which will apply those settings to everything in your game.
