Hello All-
I am a fairly new user of TMS and have a few questions about capabilities.  Previous to work on TMS, I worked with the database KE EMu and I am trying to locate some of the same tools that I found with that database.  Namely, I am looking for a ditto function and a global search and replace function.  

By ditto function, I am referring to the idea that you can set a record as a template and simply ditto the information from the template into the current record I am working on.  For example, I have a set of 2300 records that need the culture changed and need the provenance added (in the ex-collection related field).  

By global search and replace (I found the information about search and replace in the database maintenance, but this is very limited) I refer to pulling up a set of records (maybe in an object package) and select a field in all of those records that I want to change and read something else.  For example, I have a set of records that I want to change their credit line.

If either of these capabilities are available, your guidance is greatly appreciated.  I should also note that I am working in TMS version 9.20.2028, which I believe is an older version.

Thanks,
Ashley
