    I looked at this a long time ago.  The PA is actually a JSON file.  You can save file locally and append a .zip extension.  Unzip file.  I used Visual Studio to open file and format it.  It is very complex.  I figured it would take me months to do an JSON editor to reliably make changes.  I gave up.

    Hello,

    Are you looking to replace all the fields or just a few? If it is all or a large proportion I would suggest cutting and pasting into notepad any complex formulas then either delete each Datacard or the whole form and then re add. Brutal I know but it will save issues further down the road
