Using Replace Strings

When I am in New Content Experience and using Replace Strings in my module description it is saving with my settings and not the replace string. D2L says that this is a known intermittent problem, but I can't seem to get it to work at all. Does anyone have a suggestion that may be better than just keep trying? It is getting tedious resaving all the time and my instructors that I send these instructions to are not going to bother using it when it is this difficult.

    @Courtney.B.1285 Hi Courtney,

    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Community site.

    Currently, the feature to allow replace strings in the Content tool(Classic & New Content Experience) does not exist in the LE.

    However, there is a feature request submitted in the Product Idea Exchange that aligns with your ask and is submitted as below,

    {

    Make replace strings work in Content (as it does elsewhere), and allow custom tokens (D272)

    }

    Regards,
