What can be used instead of a global find and replace rule to modify specific tags?

The Find and Replace functionality in a deployment step is designed to allow users to modify specific tags during the deployment process without affecting all instances of that tag globally. This tool is particularly useful because it provides a targeted approach, enabling users to identify and change specific instances of tags in the deployment configuration.

Using this functionality ensures that the changes are localized only to the relevant deployment step and do not inadvertently alter tags in other parts of the project or environment. This can be critical when you need precise control over versions or configurations, maintaining the integrity of deployments while making necessary adjustments.

Manual editing of the deployment can also modify tags, but it lacks the efficiency and accuracy of the Find and Replace tool, especially when dealing with multiple tags or in a large deployment context. Environment settings usually apply a broader set of parameters and configurations that affect multiple deployments or the entire environment, which is not suited for specific tag modifications. Lastly, a tag verification tool is typically used for validating tags rather than modifying them, focusing on ensuring tags meet certain criteria rather than altering their values.
