Find And Replace Block Text

Use the Find & Replace tab on the flow workspace to update text in your blocks. Find & Replace searches for user-specified text in block names, labels, error messages, field mappings, filters, match criteria, and expressions.

Note: If text in a field mapping on the Block Properties Fields tab is replaced, the new text could break the flow. For example, if you change the Connection Alias for a results field and you have mapped that results field, TIBCO Cloud™ Integration - Connect generates an error when the flow runs.

When using Find & Replace, note the following:

Find searches both active and inactive stacks of blocks.
If you delete a block or stack of blocks with values in the list of items found, that list is not updated, and the total remains the same. Click Find again to update the list and total count of items found.
Block names display with a prefix of the Connection Alias for the connection associated with the block, such as CRM_accountFetch. However, the actual name of the block does not include the Connection Alias. Using the CRM_accountFetch example, the name of that block is actually accountFetch, which is the value used by Find & Replace.
Find returns records in order of occurrence in the flow.
Replace does not affect starting blocks, such as Query or Wait for Request, nor does it affect Build Reply and Send Reply blocks. If you select a row that is in a block that the Replace option cannot update, nothing happens, nor are you warned.
