      Hey! Thanks for "Normalize IDs". Much appreciated as some of my numbering was becoming stratospheric! 😆

      One small issue arises, though. It messes up "Turn off block" (and presumably other block controlling blocks). Might be worth having a small pop-up asking the user if they wish to continue the action before it is finally executed, as they'll have to manually edit these control blocks afterwards.

      Thanks again.

        I can suggest to give these blocks name that is text, not numeric ID. Yes, it's possible for block ID to be some text, and this text will not be changed after normalize. And it will be more meaningful, but use IDs without spaces and special symbols - only latin letters and 0-9.

          Ah. Yes. You did mention this before, and I'm sorry I forgot! However, I still think it would be useful for other users to be reminded that if a numerical system is used with controlling blocks that the numbers will need changed. And probably the best way is to have a small pop-up with a reminder and a "continue" or "cancel" button.

          Thanks again. 🙂
