Question: Is it possible to 'rename' a category or Tag?

[mikro]

Hi all,

Every once in a while I run into the problem of renaming a tag or category that is still needed and corretly set throughout the tasks but the name doesn't quite fit anymore.

From there I need to filter for the tag/category and then correct every task by Hand, which is pretty anoying.

Is there a way to replace the name of a tag/category in one step?

THX a lot!

Unfortunately there is no one-step method for renaming attribute values, however 7.2 does make it somewhat easier to edit multiple tasks simultaneously.

Here's how I would rename 'Work' to 'Word' in 7.2:

1. Add 'Word' to one of the 'Work' items

2. Filter by 'Word' and 'Work'

3. Switch to the 'List View' so you won't see any un-matching parent tasks

4. <Ctrl+A> to select all of the filtered tasks

5. Deselect 'Work' and select 'Word' in the attribute droplist

6. Delete 'Work' from the attribute droplist

In the future I can see myself adding a one-step menu option but not right now.

I'm adding this capability to 7.3
