Saved Search looking for 'hard coding' alternative
We have a number of complex saved searches that check for text in case statements eg case when {employeefield} = 'contractor' then 1 end
The word 'contractor' recently changed to something else and I need to change it to the new word in at least 10 saved searches and in about 15 places in each one - so lots of manual work.
I'd much prefer to reference that word somewhere so I can change it in one place if needed.
