4.21 Replacing Tasks, Conditions, Branches or Comments

How can I replace existing tasks, conditions, branches or comments?

When you want to add a given task, condition, branch or comment to a process, you may simply do so, but

you also have the option to replace existing items using the Edit menu’s Replace command.

Although you would typically replace a task by another task, you may also replace any item by any other

item, regardless of their nature. Note that if you replace a branch by a task, all the branch’s children branches

and tasks will be replaced by the new task. If you replace a conditional branch by a task, all the branches and

tasks appearing on the True side of the branch will be replaced by the new task.

When you use the Replace command and choose a new task, branch or comment, you must set its properties

just as if it was a brand new task, branch or comment.

For general instruction on this topic, refer to Replace a Task, Condition, Branch or Comment. For detailed

instructions on how to replace an existing task, condition, branch or comment, refer to the corresponding

section in the following chapters: Input Tasks, Output Tasks or Action Tasks.

Note finally that you can also paste properties from task to task.
