ideally we could see on which hosts macros might have the exact same contents while performing the mass update

Agreed - this would be very handy

+1. Another option would be (and I think it's even handier) to be possible to assign macros to Hostgroups (I tend to group hosts with same capabilities/roles)

Setting macros using Hostgroups? Good idea and also with: Theese macros also should set level of insertion in hierarchy Global, , Template, , Host , - to replace prev. level of stored macro value (Set/Replace macro in level).

Just tried to set a Macro on several Hosts at once, and wondered why this isn't available via "Mass Update". So I stumbled upon this ZBXNEXT and wanted ti give this a +1

+1 too

I've got good news for all of us! This functionality will be implemented very soon in Zabbix 5.0. It will cover all typical use cases like adding, updating, removing macros, also replacing all existing macros with a new set for selected list of hosts or templates. Thanks for your patience.

Awesome !

thx

any chance we will see macros on host groups in 5.0 or in the future ?

Great!
