Changing Prefab Variables From Another Script In Editor

Question

Hey,

I have a prefab with script X on it variable XX. I also have a script Z with the variable ZZ on another object(not the prefab). While in the editor I want to be able to change variable XX to ZZ. So what ever ZZ is XX always equals on the prefab. I also want to use script X on more than one prefab with different XX values. If im not clear about what im asking please let me know so I can clarify...Thx

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 
 public class Z : MonoBehaviour {
      public int zz; //varible   zz on main script
 
     void Start () 
     {
         update_value ();
     }
     
  
     void update_value () 
     {
         //finding all gameobjects that are avail on scene 
         foreach (GameObject obj in UnityEngine.Object.FindObjectsOfType(typeof(GameObject)))
         {
             zz=Random.Range(0,100);    
             if (obj.transform.tag == "prefab")  // finding and adding new value in xx with new zz for each gameobjects with prefab tag 
             {
                 print("Before update "+obj.GetComponent<X>().xx);
                 obj.GetComponent<X>().xx=zz;
                 print("After Update"+obj.GetComponent<X>().xx);
             }

Close but not what im looking for, but thanks tho. I want to be able to update the prefab before I run the game. What im doing is only going to be for when im in the editor anyways, but it would make it a lot easier for me when Im creating alot of prefabs and all have then in a list.

the "Z" script is of type "mono behavior" you can use "EditorWindow" and modify script to do the same task
