How to enable Field Watcher?

[Dominik15]

Hi All, when using field watcher on a field debug icon appears, but when I click it, the debug window does not appear, basically nothing happens. Has anyone faced this issue? Is there any workaround to get to field watcher data? I am using Microsoft Edge browser.

Thanks in advance

There's a catch with field watcher, you need to have the left navigation present.

Try a diff browser, if it still doesn't work

Yes, I noticed when navigation is hidden, field watcher is unavailable. But when I use it with nagiation panel being open, I cant open field watcher window

Hi,

How to use Field Watcher on Comments and Worknotes

Note: The field watcher works only on form fields. It cannot be used on list fields. Also, field watcher is not available on password-protected fields or encrypted fields. Field watcher is only available within the UI frame. The option to watch a field does not appear in the context menu if you open a record outside of the UI frame, for example, in a new tab.

Hi Ankur, unfortunately I cannot accomplish 3rd point from documentation "View the field watcher log by clicking the debug icon." as after clicking debug icon, nothing happens, the debug window does not appear
