Change attribute value

The Change Attribute Value refactoring allows you to change the values of all attributes that match the name of the selected attribute and whose values match the value of the selected attribute. This bulk modification of attribute values may be useful as XML schemas evolve.

Change the value of an attribute

  1. Place the caret at the attribute to change the value of, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T, and then select Change Attribute Value from the list.

  2. In the dialog that opens, specify the new value for the selected attribute and specify the scope to change the value of the attribute in.

    • With the Directory scope specified, select the Recursively checkbox to include sub-directories.

    • Select the Limit to files with DTD:... checkbox to limit the scope to the files with the same DOCTYPE as specified for the current file.

  3. Invoke the refactoring:

    • Click OK to continue immediately or click Preview to have WebStorm show the usages of the selected attribute in the Find tool window where you can mark usages as included in or excluded from refactoring.

    • Click Show XSLT... to view a fragment of the XSLT that is equivalent to the requested refactoring. This fragment can be used by XSLT processors to perform the requested refactoring on files outside your WebStorm project.
