I'm trying to use the Find/Replace tool to rename things, but my view custom properties are greyed out. I'm using Ignition Edge, so this is a single project without any inheritance. Is this a bug?

Hi Andrew, this behavior is expected. We **cannot replace the key** of a custom property using the Find/Replace tool, which is why it’s greyed out. However, you **can use the tool to find and replace the value** of a custom property - if you search for the property’s value, it will not be greyed out.
