Apply pose parameters to all nodes

What I have is a hose for a hookah . . . I'm trying to do a gentle spiral etc. It seems like I should be able to select bones 3-5 and then apply the parameters (twist, side, bend) and get them to apply to all the bones in the set? When I do it, the parameters only "take" on the last one for some reason. It seems like there's some settings box somewhere I need to check, but I can't figure out where it is. Thanks for any suggestions.

Select all the bones, then in Parameters tab ensure they are, in fact, selected there, too! When they are any changes to rotation, etc., will be applied to all. I've been told there is a way to get that 'double selection' to happen automatically (as it used to do I believe) but I have yet to manage to get it to work ;)
Right, thanks! It's easy when you know what to look for lol.
