Situation: You have a new field you’ve added that needs to supplant an older, commonly used field that is now out of date. Either you want to preserve the old data or you are changing data types, in any event you need the new field rather than pump different data into the old field.
Problem: To see the field dependancies you need to use the Admin>Data Management>object>Dependencies and then for each dependency type (rule, report, relationships, etc.) you need to select your field, then view the various dependencies. For a popular field this is a cumbersome workflow as you aren’t really able to navigate very well without a large number of clicks.
Request: I would like the bility to select a field in dependencies and export an xls/csv file that shows column headers for each dependencies type, and the rows listing each dependency. This would make it easier to systematically make and record your changes to make sure you aren’t breaking a connection or report by not making a field swap when you should have.
