Global Search and replace all - execept HMI-pages

when doing a global search and replace, it will do as told for all code pages, but for some reason exclude HMI-pages. Why is that?

Maybe you can explain why the search and replace function does not replaces instances it finds in HMI pages?
Look at the last line in the screenshot

Hello fluxmodel,
I got an answer from the control team and I will post it here:

Replacing is only supported in types (Components Tree) and not in insances (Plant Tree).
Refactoring is the function that shall be used to change the variables in HMI pages until now.

Hope this helps

Right, got it. Thanks.

I have been using “search and replace” inside the HMI page editor until now for the individual pages not covered by the global one.
Refactoring is by the way not supported for type sheets which i use almost exclusively. (due to large amount of struct usage)
