This is a macro best suited to people who play multiple character setups. The emu I play on is bot friendly and most people run with 12+ character setups, so when people guild up there end up being a lot of orphaned characters in the guild management window. Common practice is to set one main character and tag the rest as alts, so to remove the tedium of having to tab alt to alt and update the Public Note for them individually, with the help of Chatwiththisname on populating edit boxes with text and cannibalizing the code he shared, I created this macro.
The logic flow for this macro is to set up a text event to watch for. This text event is #*# update publicnote #1# with the first wildcard #*# allowing you to use any chat channel and the parameter #1# being whatever string the user wants to set the public note to. When the event is triggered, the macro makes sure that the Show Offline button is checked and the Hide alts button is not checked. This is to ensure that the total member count of the GT_MemberList can be evaluated, although as I write this I realize that I don't really need to show offline characters since they won't be running the macro anyhow. That being said, the character finds their index on the GT_MemberList and selects it, then clears the contents of the Public Note window if there is already a message there and enters the string the user provided for Public Note and clicks the update button to set it. There are inherent delays in the macro to allow Guild Management Window to properly update between requests, but the delays should be pretty small.
A /bca command is issued from the main character to the alts that need to tag themselves as such in the Public Note. You can also use /bct to send the command to individual toons, but the idea behind this is to update all characters at once and be done with it.
Download the attached mac and drop it into the Macros folder of your MQ2 directory then have the alts load it.
/bca //mac gwmnote2
/bca update publicnote PublicInputText, replacing PublicInputText with what you want the public input text to be.
You should get a message from each toon if you are successful or a message indicating that the update was unsuccessful.
* Yes the name sucks, it's version 2 because the first version iterated through each toon in the Netbots channel but using /bca commands lessened the delay from one character updating to the next
