mass replace tools

Status: Implemented Submitted by on ‎06-18-2019 06:29 AM

Sometimes a dependency with a macro breaks, or I am local 'versioning' a macro and want to replace it in another workflow, without losing all of the connections.

If we could replace a tool, or if it is missing upon opening a workflow select a tool to take the missing one's place but keep the same connections, that would be incredibly helpful.

Even a dialog to help resolve missing macros (with a file picker to find the new path) would really help.

For existing macros in a workflow, this functionality is already available in the Workflow Dependencies feature in Options > Advanced... but if you're talking about Missing Macros? Well stay tuned, coming soon!!! 😁

(PS. Check out announcements about our Public Previews for the 23.2 release if you'd like a sneak peek of this functionality!)
