Red modulation thingy

I understand the modulation is set with the blue around the controls. What does it mean when they are red?

If you have more than one zone selected in program tree those parameters are set to different values. With knobs you see the range that they differ, the dropdown menus in red show the values are not the same for all selected zones.

If you were to change that parameter now you would set all the selected zones to the same value as you have the absolute edit mode selected.

Thank you for taking the time and your detailed explanation.
