I think it would be a useful feature if when variable names were modified in the variable table editor if all existing references to that variable name were automatically updated throughout the project instead of the user having to manually change them

A search/replace function would also aid in fixing this issue.

Thank you for the requests! These are features we at Delta would like, too.

For the time being, the Find All feature provides a convenient list of all the occurences, with a link to each occurrence.
