How can you view the db Field list of a form

    In the prior version, when setting up e-mail notifications- you could click on the Template Variables and see all the field "element" names and the corresponding field names. With this, you can easily copy and paste into Excel to create a quick list of all the fields. This is then very convenient when we connect with Crystal to read the data - we know which "element" is which field.

    In this version, the Template Variables is a drop down and you can't just see the entire list to copy&paste it.

    Is there another way?

    OK, to answer my own question. I found that when you click on the Template Variables, you can then right click on the page to "view page source".

    Scrolling down the window then, I see the list of all the elements and the corresponding field names. It does not give you the multiple choice options, but at least this is 90% of documenting the database for each form.

    Here is a small sample of what to look for....

    <option value="element_24">First Name</option>
    <option value="element_25">Last Name</option>
    <option value="element_26">MI</option>
    <option value="element_3">Address</option>
    <option value="element_8">Home e-mail address. </option>
