for example I added
"syslocation Seattle, WA"
And it was able to get picked up.

Couldn't you just add the location to the snmpd.conf file? That's what we did and it got parsed into the location field on the next poll.

There's no way to do this currently that I'm aware of. We will face the same issue if we deploy Observium in production; hundreds of PDUs that we can't easily update the SNMP location on. So it's either writing an expect script to change the PDUs (probably correct solution), or writing a script on the Observium box to do the necessary mysql adds/updates (more fun solution).
Right now I'm not doing anything about it, it's just another item in the "risks" column. :)

Is there a way via command line to set the Location of a device?
For example, in the GUI you click on a given device and hover over the Gear in the far right.
Then click Properties.
Under the Device Settings tab there is a Custom Location.
This is the location I would like to set.
I ran an SNMP Enabler tool and enabled, set and added 100 devices today to Observium.
Rather than set this individually, I was hoping I could do it in bulk via SSH.
