Really sad to know you aren't looking anymore for a fix...
At this point I suggest a workaround to search (and replace, but is more tricky) in these fields.
-
First of all select "XML" as "Resource Encoding" in Vision settings:
-
MANUALLY open all the windows and templates, close them and when Ignition ask to commit changes press "Yes". Save the project to apply changes and you will have all the windows and templates converted from .bin to .xml
This is needed as the property "Resource Encoding" is "anterograde" (Vision Project Properties | Ignition User Manual)
-
Now open your project folder at this path: "C:\Program Files\Inductive Automation\Ignition\data\projects", enable search in the files with windows explorer and it's done! Now you can search in files, once you found what you were searching, you can make the edits in Ignition Designer.
-
If you want to find and replace in all the project without using Ignition, you can use tools like "Visual Studio Code". To make changes effective I created the memory tag "requestScanOnValueChange" with the script call to "system.project.requestScan()"
Manually change the value of the tag from the tag browser to scan the project changes from VSCode
Request an "Update Project" from the toolbar (or press Ctrl+Shift+U)
And it's done!
