The “Find & Replace” custom field can be used to find & replace values from the following fields:
summary
description
single + multi line text
This feature can be useful if multiple issues has been created via template and include some prefixes or other text snippets which should be replaced.
Example: the summary of the template issue is $projectname. Maybe this “variable” is also used several times in the description. With the find & replace function this variable $projectname can be replaced with the actual project name.
Create a Find & Replace custom field
Step 1 is to create a new custom field from type “STAGIL Find & Replace” and set the screens. No further configuration is necessary.
Use the find & replace function
The field appears like this in the edit mode:
Now write your value into the text fields. According to our example from above, we would write $projectname into the “find” section and the actual name of the project in the “replace” section. Press the +button.
