Abeille Forms Designer tip #1 - search and replace

Post by drswoboda »

Hey for those of you messing with IT and making custom forms, here is a tip that might be obvious to some, but I found it pretty useful yesterday.

I made a major change in some of my property names in my settings file. This of course caused my form to have dozens of incorrect names for components. Instead of changing each one by hand, I loaded my form.jfrm file into Abeille and then did a save as form.xml. Then I used my notepad++ to find and replace all the name changes for me. Then I loaded the .xml into Abeille and saved it back out to .jfrm for use in IT.

This saved me tons of time making the changes.
