Find Replace Not Working

This is driving me insane!!!

I’ve spent all afternoon manually finding and replacing hundreds if not thousands of characters. I have inserted a range of characters that I want to replace. These include ‘::’

Aeon can find them, but it wont replace them. I have it searching all fields. I have no filters or groups on. I have tried in the timeline and spreadsheet views.

I had the same problem in an earlier version which was fixed.

Is it me or is there a bug?

Hi Justalex,

I can understand how frustrating that would be, especially after spending so long replacing these manually.

We’ve tracked this down to a bug affecting Find and Replace in custom properties, and it has now been queued to be fixed.

If you’re also seeing the same behaviour in any other fields, please let us know which ones, as that may be a separate issue worth checking.

Best,
Riaan
