Replace field names

I'm trying to use find and replace to change the value of a Field Name.

1_FirstName
1_LastName

Find and replace 1_ with 2_

2_FirstName
2_LastName

When I do this and click edit field, then the value is still 1_FirstName and 1_LastName yet it shows 2_FirstName and 2_LastName.

Solution

  • FOUND IT! Select the mergefields, turn on 'TOGGLE FIELD CODES', run the find/replace, switch back 'TOGGLE FIELD CODES' and click 'UPDATE FIELDS'. Works like a charm baby! :)
