How to unit patches in the Boundary conditions
 

hi,

im going to make heattranasfer investigation,
as solver i want to use buoyantSimpleFoam.
For that i want to use the existing "0"-folder from buoyantSimpleFoam.
Now my problem is that the files in the folder for example for Temperature T only have 4 patches, and my part where i want to make my research have about 250 patches. And the patches from 3 to 180 have all the same Boundary conditions. So how i can put them together that i don´t have to write for each patch a line and define the Temperature.

So my file now is looking like that:
how can I unite the names which have the same temperature?

Thank you,
greets!
