Change same attribute of a lot of nodes

0

I inserted all the rivers and streams of my home town, but when browsing around to the neighboring towns, I saw the following:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=46.956&lon=11.9469&zoom=13&layers=M

In this town (and some around it) all the rivers and streams are tagged layer=-1, source=AMT FÜR RAUMORDNUNG etc...

BUT

all the nodes on these streams are also tagged layer=-1, source=AMT... etc. I have manually removed these node taggings for one neighboring town (Mühlwald/Selva di Molini), but was thinking if there isn't a faster way of doing this, à la select all waterways that have nodes that are tagged layer=-1 and source=AMT FÜR RAUMORDNUNG... and then do some processing on these, preferrably with JOSM.

You can search for the tags to select all the nodes. Any changes to the tags is for the whole selection. That means that if you delete a tag when all the nodes are selected the tag will be deleted on all selected nodes.
