Code Block
<ri:page ri:space-key="NS" ri:content-title="New space Home" /> //original tag
UI Step

This is how I want it to be replaced:

Code Block
<ri:page ri:space-key="AS" ri:content-title="Another space Home" /> //updated tag
UI Step

But what will not work, is searching for:

Code Block
<ri:page ri:space-key="NS"

And replacing with:

Code Block
<ri:page ri:space-key="AS"
