Find And Replace Block Text

Use the Find & Replace tab on the Map workspace to update text in your Map 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 Map. For example, if the Connection Alias for a results field is changed and that results field is mapped, an error is generated when the Map executes.
