Then, no, I think you have to do what you are doing. You could make a macro to simplify things.

Donna,
thank you very much for your answer.
Sadly what you suggest doesn't work - or maybe you misunderstood what
I wanted to achieve :-)
field=Replace(field, field, "other-positions", "positions")
field=Replace(field, field, "other-connections", "connections")
field=Replace(field, field, "other-data", "data")
field=Remove(field, {"other-positions", "other-connections", "other-data")
is equivalent to
field=Rename(field, "other-positions", "positions")
field=Rename(field, "other-connections", "connections")
field=Rename(field, "other-data", "data")
In both cases the problem remains that the attributes are preserved.
So the new 'connections' component has an attribute 'ref' with the
value 'other-positions' and not 'positions'. The new 'data' component
has an attribute 'dep' with the value 'other-positions' which should
now be 'positions'.
In order to fix this, I have to
data=""> data=""> field=Replace(field,data,"data","data")
and the same for the connection component.
So again, is there a shorter/easier way to achieve the overall result?
