SID-02107: Need to change formfield "Name" to "Title"

Hi,

I just discovered that if I had my forms with a Title field instead of Name, it would have simplified a lot of things!

Now that I have loads of topics with these forms attached, I don't know how to do that without breaking everything... Any Ideas?

here is what I tried without success :

• I tried to add a Field Title to the form with the value : $formfield(Name)
• I tried to add a Field Title to the form with a search for $formfield(Name)
• I tried to update the Field Title with $formfield(Name) from the header :

%EDITFORMFIELD{ "form" type="start"  topic="%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%" method="get" }%
%EDITFORMFIELD{ "Title" topic="%INCLUDINGTOPIC%" type="hidden" value="%SEARCH{ "^%INCLUDINGTOPIC%$" scope="topic" regex="on" nonoise="on" format="$formfield(Name)"}%" }%
%EDITFORMFIELD{ "form" type="end" }%

Help!

I recommend to do a global search and replace using the GlobalReplacePlugin. Take a backup before the mass changes, it is easy to make a mistake with regular expressions.

The plugin doesn't want to install... I did it manually, topic by topic. I learned my lesson!
