I submitted code changes to permit arbitrary changes to the identifiers field in bulk search/replace. If the source field is not "identifiers" and the destination field is "identifiers" and the destination identifier is "*", then the result of the search/replace is used to replace the entire identifiers field. To empty the field, use "{template}" as the source field, ".*" as the search for string, "identifiers" as the destination field, and "*" as the destination identifier.
Note that you can construct any set of identifiers you wish in the search/replace operation, making it possible to remove all but some identifiers.
Note also that the string used to generate the resulting identifiers field must be a (possibly null) comma-separated set of colon-separated pairs of strings.
