I’m wondering if something like this is possible inside the FB IDE?  
  
Eg, I have a FB script with a few dozen “Build Delphi” actions. I would like to search and replace the compiler version from Seattle to Berlin. It appears to be possible to do the search and replace directly in the project file, but it would be nice if it was possible in the IDE.

The main menu Wizards item has a Change Delphi Version in the submenu.

Heh - if only there was an auto hint to tell me.  
  
I guess the answer to the general question "can I search and replace on built-in action settings" is "no" (I was using the Delphi version as an example). But at least I learned something useful

From my understanding you can select all the actions of a similar type and then use the properties tab to change a property of the selected actions to the same value.
