This has probably been asked before but I can't find any info.
For example changing the field "original-field-name" to "new-field-name" in every tiddler, without changing any of the values.
Thanks for your help!

Si,
I think it fair to say for each occurrence of filedname1 you create fieldname2 and populate it with the value of fieldname1 then delete fieldname1
<$action-setfield filename2={{!!fieldname1}}/>
<$action-deletefield fieldname1/>
The above can go in a list that locates tiddlers containing fieldname1 and wrapped by a button to trigger the action(s) on each tiddler.
Regards
Tony
