track down fields / effector references

Hello, I have a pretty complex project using a lot of fields and group fields and effectors and group effectors.
I was just wondering, is there any way to find out where a field is being used? like a reference viewer or something like the texture manager, which effectors, which group fields, etc.
Same question for effectors referenced in group effectors.
I think Aturtur made a script which lists which cloners are using which effectors, my next step is to find that and see if it goes deeper.
Thanks!

Hi Nick N.,

Like an assigned list in Material.

That sounds like a good idea; perhaps you have a minute to share this:

Perhaps Artutur likes the idea and can write something like that to list things in the Console.

If you set the colors for each Field differently, you might find some relief with that. Which requires to have only one field active.

I have no further input other than switching the Field (or Group) off/on and see what is affected, which has some limitations, of course.

All the best
