+== Why is this an issue?
+
+Instead of manually recreating dataclasses, ``++dataclasses.replace(...)++`` can be used to recreate dataclasses with modified values.
+
+Alternatively, the in Python 3.13 introduced, more general-purpose ``++copy.replace(...)++`` can be used to archive the same result.
+
+
+== How to fix it
+
+=== Code examples
+
+==== Noncompliant code example
+
+[source,python,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
+----
+from dataclasses import dataclass
+
+@dataclass
+class Point:
+    x: int
+    y: int
+
+p1 = Point(1, 2)
+p2 = Point(p1.x, 3) # Noncompliant
+----
+
+==== Compliant solution
+
+[source,python,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]

+import dataclasses
+import copy
+
+@dataclass
+class Point:
+    x: int
+    y: int
+
+p1 = Point(1, 2)
+p2 = dataclasses.replace(p1, y=3) # Compliant
