    Find and Replace citation details

    ​I was thinking about changing some citation details, i.e. to remove some consistent wording of "Memorial ID: " from citations to some findagrave sources, eg. citation details of "Memorial ID: 999999" to "999999".

    I tried the "Advanced Find and Replace" option but this allowed changing details from sources (and people or families) and not citation details to sources.

    I was able to find citations containing "Memorial ID: " from the tool icon under sources sidebar. I can click on the resulting person and editing each citation one by one manually.

    Another option I had tried was showing the "citation to a source" from each findagrave source, and then editing the citation detail from the results window one by one. It takes time and I have to be careful not to delete any digits when removing the "Memorial ID: " wording.

    I just wondered if there was a quicker way of doing this.
