Search and replace attribute names in a workspace, which are used inside transformers, e.g. Group By -parameters or ExpressionEvaluators.

I had a huge workspace, where I had same attribute in many Group By settings of transformers. The source dataset changed to a different data model, and I had to change the attributes also to the transformers.

In software engineering, we would call this a refactoring tool. And it would apply project-wide, not just to a single workspace or custom transformer file.
