How to update .ism and .rul files when moving to a new version?

I have basic msi project created with InstallShield 2015 It’s .ism and .rul files include many values which are changed whenever our software has new version which is quite often. I have list of items needed to be updated every version and all being done manually but using InstallShield UI.

I have a script that use InstallShield automation to update ProductVersion, ProductCode, ProductName etc. but what about all kind of registry settings, strings, component destination etc. ?

we are runing in the same kind of problems at my work, to overcome it, we automated search and replace in the .ism (saved in XML) and .rul at build time.
