Good morning! after a very productive day building repetitive tables
thanks to the new Paste options, I generated a .pdf of the results and
realised I'd made a mistake: I've set colwidth="3*" in a colspec, and it
would give better results with colwidth="2*".
Question, then: is there something built in for this,
No. When I need to do this, I proceed as follows:
* EITHER record and play a macro:
1) Press "Esc m" to start recording.
2) Press "Esc g" (Find Element). Specify attribute "colwidth" equals to
"3*". Clicking OK will select the first colspec having colwidth="3*
following the caret location.
3) Use the Attributes tool normally to change colwidth="3* to colwidth="2*".
4) Press "Esc m" to finish recording.
5) Press "Esc p" to ``play the macro'', as many times as needed to.

* OR use the Source View which has a Search/Replace facility of its own
("View|XML Source" is new to XXE v5.8).
or would I correct
my mistake more quickly by opening the .dita files in a text editor?
When I have a large number of files to modify ``mechanically'', I prefer
to use a sed script:
---
sed -r -e '/colwidth="3\*"/colwidth="2*"/g' -iBAK foo.dita
