Hi,

When I duplicated a project for another area of the plant, I used the find/replace to do most of the work replacing machine names etc.  
This worked great except that it did not find text in any custom methods that I created for drop down list components.

Ignition V7.7.3 (b2015022512)

Thank you,

John

This was indeed a bug that was fixed and is now available in 7.7.4
