"where is used"

After a long week of searching, I just found why something was not working. I must have accidentally clicked on running a query automatically instead of running it manually triggered.
But during that week of frustration it became clear that a tool that would dump where everything was linked to, triggered by, launched from would be a great tool! I would literally have save me a week. The search is already a great tool but this was not linked to code.
I don't know if this is even possible since I have no idea what's behind the scenes of this great tool.

export all your apps as zips. Unzip and 'grep' what you are looking for. Hopefully it is named uniquely

As a temporary solution, I can live with that but that's really like I maintain my 1990's ERP now, searching through all sources, not what I expect from a today's tool. Perhaps an AI integration could solve this

Totally, It is not ideal. I am guessing this would be the advantage of the source control on enterprise

+1 for a dependency tree for apps and modules. Nested ideally

Thanks for reaching out, @PeterV! This is definitely a pain point that we're working to address in some manner, especially for larger apps. One of the initiatives that we're working on is described here.

Let me know if you're interested in trying it out and I can activate it for your org!

@Darren Can we give this a try on fourpointelectric.retool.com?

@Darren what if you guys made that little graph display.... A whole app for us all to use and included it in Developer Utilities ?

We could:

  1. Export our app as JSON
  2. Drop it on a file upload component
  3. View a large version of the Graph instead of a little box

or launch it in a separate browser instance... just like the standard developer tools. But I don't know if that is easy to do.

That seems to be the crux of it - the visualization feels a little cramped currently. :thinking: I'll funnel this feedback to the owning team!
