Search and Replace
« on: March 03, 2011, 08:00:25 pm »
Hi, is there a way to search and replace texts within a requirements diagram? For example, there are 20 items selected. Their 'short description' should be changed from "FS_XYZ.{id}" into "FS_ABC.{id}".

If this feature does not exist, I would suggest to implement it.

Kind Regards
Karl

Yes, these discussions are about the same topic.
Search and replace in EA is surely not as simple as in a text editor.
But it should be possible, nonetheless.
The XMI workaround also occurred to me, but this might also point to a possible implementation:
Make it possible to search and replace attribute secific, for example:
Replace( Attribute = "Short Description", OldValue = "XYZ", New Value = "ABC" );
