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.

Wouldn't it be possible to achieve this functionality by opening the worskpace in Notepad(++) and perform a find and replace? I am just wondering.

 

 

My upvote comes a little late, but came across a situation in which this would be really convenient!

I think it is possible, but I think Safe would like users to use Workbench for modifying workspaces ;-).
