PI66861: SEARCH & REPLACE (ADVANCED FIND) DOES NOT REPLACE ON NOTE/TEXT

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Add a note to a diagram.  Add text to the note.
  Use Advanced Search and Replace to search for the text in the
  note.
  
  The text will be found, but when the note is selected in the
  results and Auto-Replace is run, the Note text will not be
  replaced.
  
  The online help says the following:
  
  The Auto Replace feature cannot be used on the following items
  because
  they do not qualify to be replaced automatically:
  
      Read-only elements.
      A description that includes hyperlinks
      Stub or unresolved element names
      The name of an event reception, constructor, destructor,
  generalization, or hyperlink
  
  
  None of those limitations apply to a Note on a diagram.
  
  It should be documented that text is not replaced in a Note
  since it is not a model element.
