Description:

List layouts and fields. You may specify file or leave blank for current file. You may specify field name and only layouts containing this field will be returned; together with the list of all fields on that layout. If you enter any value in "onlyLayouts" then the field list is not returned, only layout names. Some degree of "wild card" support is provided. So you could enter "Items::*" and all layouts showing related fields such as Line Items::Qty, Line Items::Price; PO Items::Qty etc will be returned. Requires Quicksort custom function but that part can be easily removed.

Note: these functions are not guaranteed or supported by BrianDunning.com. Please contact the individual developer with any questions or problems.
