Find & Replace Function

[Matt]

Is there a find and replace function in TestLink? We have a lot of test cases in which one parameter has changed, and manually tracking through these is proving to require a fairly large amount of man-effort. We would like to find a way to perform a search and replace function by suite, in pretty much exactly the same way as Microsoft Excel.

Does anybody know how to do this, or has anybody written any code in php which would enable this - or does anybody know in which area/library we should look towards if we wanted to write some code ourselves?

did you try search test cases function where you can edit the test cases and change accordingly

or

export to xml and then make changes and import for the test cases updation.

This is Web based soultion not excel to find and replace

Solution going forward: don't duplicate variable data lots of times. Instead of putting data into test cases, put reference to a central source. Like the TestSuite description.
