Way to determine bound UD fields

I’m trying to do some inventory on some custom forms that were created using the UD tables and I’m curious if there is a way to determine what all UD fields are bound to controls on the form without having to manually just click on every single one and take note of it.

Customization Maintenance > Actions > Show Custom Data > Properties.

This is not exactly what you asked for, but it is as close as I can find without making a custom tool. If your custom form doesn’t include the UD field directly in the bindings, then you may not be able to find it. For example, in one of the custom dashboards I made, users can enter inventory data into UD07. They fill in text boxes on the form, and then a custom UBAQ action pushes that data into the UD table. In this case, you can’t see any of my UD field links, because they all happen in the UBAQ BPM. On the other hand, if your UD fields are directly bound to controls on the form, you should be able to see that in this properties menu. Unfortunately, you have to open each customization one at a time to find any possible links.

It would be cool if you could enter a UD table/field and get a report back about which methods, directives, BPMs, and custom controls impact that table/field. I don’t think this tool exists.

Good luck!

Thanks Nate. Your suggestion will work for what I need but I agree such a tool would come in handy.
