Hi, I want to replace ç to c and ş to s etc. How can I do it without creating actions for each one?  
Seems the function is this but how to use it?  
$replace(%\_ALL%,ç,c,ş,s)

Use it in an action of the type "Format value".  
You would have to create one action per field that should get treated like that, but you can run them in one action group.

Alternatively, you can use an action Replace for each pair of characters using the `_TAG` field. It’s a pseudo-field that captures all tag fields.
