FInd and replace anything in the modeler
There are specific replace functions, like the batch replace for captions, but I would like to replace pretty much anything I can find. Like replacing IVK_ in all microflows with ACT_
A brackets style approach would be best:
- Search
- Show a list of matches
- Select all or choose the search results that must be included in the replace
- Replace selected items.
Reviving this idea since it remains highly relevant. As a user experience designer and front-end developer, this would be invaluable, especially in large Mendix environments with multiple complex applications.
For instance, when implementing a company theme update that involves changing several CSS class names to enhance naming consistency, the current process requires manually searching for and altering each class across every Mendix project. This can be particularly tedious when multiple instances appear on a single page.
By 'automating' this process, I could make the necessary changes almost instantly, saving literal days or weeks of work while significantly improving efficiency and reducing the likelihood of errors.
Adding this option should be an absolute no-brainer for Mendix Studio Pro. Please, Mendix, make this happen.
Here there was a great cool example of find and replace :-) https://www.mendix.com/videos/glimpse-of-the-future-with-mendix-rd-labs-extensibility/ ( jump to 9.03 minute)
Great idea, that would make refactoring so much easier and quicker!
Perhaps add a regex option to it so it gets easier to filter the search/replacable items.
