Hello, Douglas!

  You are trying to use the simple text replace tool for a task that is not (contrary to what the UI lead you to believe) is NOT a text replacement.
  What you essentially want to do is:
  - create instances of some similarly named, but semantically different objects (they even come from another subsystem!);
  - assign some, but possibly not all, of their possibly unpublished properties the values from some existing controls on the form;
  - delete controls with type names that match the pattern, if any, from the form;
  - add the newly created controls to the form.

  So, even though the last two steps seem close to, overall this is much more complicated a task than text replacement in some character arrays, which is what the tool is designed for.
