Have just discovered the "New from Template" feature which I can use
to recreate task sets/projects etc. - something Bedrudin highighted in
an earlier post. very useful indeed ( I can't believe I'm still
discovering things about this product..) , but would be even more
useful if I was able to select a bunch of tasks and substitute
specific words. So for example, a project set, which focuses on
"Subject A" could be replicated and all tasks quickly reconfigured to
reference "Subject B".

I agree. I've long thought the absence of a find and replace text option is a glaring omission in any text processing application these days. It's such a standard feature in even the most basic software that it has it's own universal shortcut (Ctrl+h) and is usually married up with the Find tool. To go slightly off topic - for my money this type of feature should just be there and isn't best served by putting the request on UserVoice. That also goes for small but useful enhancements which people would not waste votes on. Hopefully, Andrey still takes note of suggestions in this forum (I think he does).

I agree, and I'm not using templates because of it. I have an
external template in a text file, which I then bring in to MLO via the
rapid task entry dialog.
