Idea Summary
Currently, Oracle APEX provides a search feature within pages and applications, but it lacks a replace function. This idea suggests adding a "replace" option alongside the search bar at both the page and application levels. This enhancement would allow users to perform bulk modifications by finding a specific value and replacing it with another, eliminating the need for manual individual changes. The replace feature would significantly improve efficiency for developers and users working on large applications where repeated content adjustments are necessary.

Use Case

• Developers working on large-scale APEX applications who need to update multiple instances of a particular value or string throughout an entire page or across various pages within an application.
• Users working on form-based applications or reports where consistent text, labels, or data need to be updated across multiple fields or sections, such as updating column names, labels, or error messages.
• Organizations managing APEX applications with dynamic data sources that may require frequent content updates, ensuring changes are applied consistently and quickly.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
The "Search and Replace" feature could be implemented by expanding the existing search functionality. Once a user performs a search, the option to replace the found values with specified content should be available. This could be implemented with an additional button for "Replace" next to the search bar, with options to replace occurrences one by one or all at once at the page or application level.
