Application Studio | Create documentation

Hello all, this is my first post. I hope it is useful for future reference.

Currently, I need to create documentation for a series of gaps that we covered. Since this includes modifying/creating applications (in Application Studio), I need to take note of every configuration on every control, flow node (grid, dropbox, function call, etc.). This task represents a lot of time, and I was wondering if you have any specific way of documenting changes in Epicor (especially in Application Studio) in a faster way than clicking on each control to copy its properties’ values.

I was thinking of maybe developing a Chrome extension to inspect controls and try to get their content into a readable table, but I’m still not sure if it’s worth it.

Epicor is still gauging interest on this idea that predates Application Studio. Add your vote(s) and comment on your business case.

In the developer tools in Chrome, under the network tab, you can see where the json comes
if for the app, and the layers.

You can pull all of that information out of the json.

You can also query the MetaFX BO directly and get that json.
You’ll just have to write some code to parse out the parameters.

This. I just documented a change using the first approch.

  1. Just opened the GetApp request in the network tab.

  2. Use any HTML tool online to convert JSON to HTML then just copy and paste to excel.

I think this could a work around for now.
