How can I find every field where a specific dropdown list is used?
How can I find every field where a specific dropdown list is used?
If you are on site, or have an on site instance for your development environment, you can grep in the cache folder for all the vardefs.
To find where a specific dropdown list name appears grep for the list's name. For example, I have a custom field for affiliation
in <mysugar>/cache I can run
grep -rl 'affiliation_list' modules/*/*vardef*
and it returns all the vardef files where the dropdown is used:
modules/Accounts/Accountvardefs.php
modules/addlo_Address_Locations/addlo_Address_Locationsvardefs.php
modules/Leads/Leadvardefs.php
modules/Opportunities/Opportunityvardefs.php
modules/pgopp_PartnershipOpportunities/pgopp_PartnershipOpportunitiesvardefs.php
modules/Prospects/Prospectvardefs.php
modules/Quotes/Quotevardefs.php
modules/smgmt_Sales_Management/smgmt_Sales_Managementvardefs.php
I can then look at each one and find where the dropdown is defined.
For example in Accounts/Accountsvardefs.php
I will find that list as 'options' in the 'affiliation_c' field.
Hope this helps,
