Find and Replace that Works with HotDocs Fields
In Hotdocs Advance, you can't use word's built in find and replace tool to replace text inside a hotdocs field without breaking the content control. Can we get a built in Advance tool that can find/replace text inside HotDocs Fields? Hotdocs already has a find/replace feature that runs when you rename a variable, or use the "replace multiple" feature. But those are limited uses and it would be helpful to just have a fully functioning button we can use whenever we need it.

Geoffrey Carlton MergedCurrently it is impractical to edit documents that contain several identical fields. For example: when I attempt to adapt templates imported from HotDocs 11 to eliminate the use of deprecated features, I have to manually update all of the references to the old variables. With the Field Editor preventing me from just using my word processor's find-and-replace feature, there should be some built in feature to do the same thing.
