Find and replace?

Is there any way to 'find and replace' variable descriptions in jamovi? For example, find "Question___" in descriptions like "Question___How old are you?" and replace with ""? Thanks, O

hi,

no sorry. part of the jamovi philosophy is minimising actions that irreversibly change a data set. so the "jamovi way" would be to construct new computed and/or transformed columns, where the *new* columns have find/replace applied.

i wouldn't rule us out adding find/replace some time in the future, but it's not a huge priority.

cheers
