Find and Replace Text Property Values

You can use this section for setting the value of a text property based on the current value of the same property. You could for example replace ‘Mtg.’ with ‘Meeting’ in space names.

NOTE: There is a separate section in the template for find and replace before copy operations and after copy operations because the order of events determines if the find and replace is applied to a copied value or to the original value.
