RT#7615: Bug: Find and replace - fails on external links

Post by rakunavi »

Hello all,

If you enable "Include External Links" in the Find Options of the "Find and Replace Text" feature, replacement operations for GoToR links and web links will appear to be accepted, and a dialog box indicating that the operation has been completed will be displayed as shown below.

However, in reality, the replacement is not performed. This may be a temporary state during development, but if there are no plans to implement this feature, it might be better to display a distinct error message, similar to when a replacement is performed on a form field.

Please see the verification video for details. The file downloaded from this URL was used for verification.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.

Best regards,
rakunavi
