We do it the other way around. With a bit of a twist :-)

If you want to change a field in more than one dive, you have to mark all
of those dives and then edit them as a set. The UI will show you the
fields for one of those dives. If you change a field in that dive, then
the corresponding fields will be changed in all those selected dives where
the field had the same value as it did in the the displayed dive prior to
the edit.

Specifically right after downloading, when all the fields are empty,
selecting all the dives and making the changes that you want to be shared
will work as intended.

This is more likely a question for Jef / libdivecomputer. If the Aeris
F10v2 includes the temperature information in the downloaded data then I'm
sure Jef can make it show up. It's possible that the data structure
changes when the dive computer is in freedive mode...
