yeah, this is what i've done in the past, but it takes longer than 10 minutes, depending on how large the world/universe is. a large major league with several levels of minors can take hours to setup.

but really, a simple checkbox allowing for this wouldn't be all that difficult to incorporate into the game. when you're on this screen, the game already knows the ID of the major league team currently displayed, otherwise the settings/changes couldn't be saved into the db for the proper team. when the OK button is pressed, code it so that the game checks to see if this checkbox is checked. if it's checked, run a simple query to determine the minor league team IDs of the currently displayed major league team, and then input the current settings for this major league team for all of the affiliated minor league team IDs in the result set, minus the logos. if it's not checked, proceed as usual. just guessing, this would be require anywhere from 10-30 lines of code to produce. 30 minutes of coding time max.

even a simple export/import would work fine; the game allows for exports of this type of info, but unfortunately not for imports. but this would require more hours of time and more lines of code to get right than the option described above.
