How to find field value inspector in pega 7.2?
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to adjust localised values.
From the help files and PDN i understand the field value inspector tool can help to show which field value is used to translate in the context in which it is shown
tho i can't seem to figure out how to access the tool.
I dont see the field value inspector, nor the inspector prefs at the developer toolbar.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance!

This feature will be provided in an upcoming version of Pega 7 and as Eric guessed, will be part of the Pega 7 UI tooling.

Hi Cornelis,
I did a PDN search on this and I found the following:
Examining field values with the Rules Inspector tool
To aid in localizing user forms, you can easily identify and update field values referenced in a harness, section, or flow action. Select > Rules Inspector > Field Value Rules to enable or disable this capability. See Rules Inspector tool — Localizing with the Field Value Inspector.
Does that help you in locating this tool?

I think that pdn info needs updating. In particular, that little triangle shown in this reference:
Select > Rules Inspector > Field Value Rules to enable or disable this capability
I don't think that little triangle exists in Pega 7.2. If not, is it still possible to turn on field value inspection?
For Pega 7.2, would the "live UI" feature be of use here? It is a symbol at the bottom of the developer portal, near the tracer and clipboard symbols.

Thanks Eric! I'll investigate this further and get back with more information when I have some.

I did a bit of peeking under the hood on prpc 6.2sp1. On that system, which does have the UI that Marissa cited, the following steps allow toggling field value inspection without using the UI cited by Marissa.
1) From developer portal, click the "run" icon on the activity form for the pzUpdateRulesInspectorOption activity.
2) On the popped up "run" box, give value "Field" (I gave it without the quotes when I tried it) for the mode parameter.
3) Click "run", and your field values will be toggled, which you can demonstrate by starting any flow and observe the field value icons on the "new" harness".
However, when I tried those steps on a Pega 7 system, I did not see the field value icons. /Eric

Thanks for your assistance Eric. Its clear to me now that i was searching for something not existing..

Thanks Cornelis Uijttewaal! If your question was answered, please mark that reply as Correct Answer.
As an alternate solution, you can use UI inspector. Click on required field in section, from UI inspector click on "open property panel", which will show the cell properties. This is as good as Field rule inspector.
