Search and rename keyword tests and items

Hi TC People,



Probably this one is already in your bug db but, do you have any idea when you can improve the search / replace / rename of keyword tests and actions on TC?



Thanks.

    When renaming a mapped item, the editor prompts the user asking them if they would like to rename the object wherever it is referenced in the project. This does not happen when a user renames a keyword test or script item, etc. We have to do the find/replace manually, which is subject to user error. It also doesn't play totally nice with source control systems like TFS when a file is renamed. When renaming a test, a new file is created with the new test name, but the old file still exists in source control. We have to manually remove that file or it will cause us problems on our check outs/ins.



    I'm hoping this is the type of stuff that Jose was referring to.
