Thanks a lot for this script!
A question: I've just tried to use it to convert relationship types in a view. Didn't work :( It seems formally the script supports elements, not concepts? Or am I doing it wrong, using wrong naming of relationships? (i.e. "InfluenceRelationship", "RealizationRelationship" - clearly without bracets)

// Edit>
Yes, I did use wrong names! It's "influence-relationship", "realization-relationship". Thanks again, cool thing!

Hey alef1986

To be honest, I never even thought about trying the script on relationships! Glad it worked though.
