Hello there,

I am trying to debug fields and for that I need to check field watcher but I am not able to see the option anywhere. previously it was showing on right click of any of the fields. Could you please anyone can guide me to enable that option or how to navigate to that option that would be great. 
Thanks in advance.

Hello @Community Alums,

 

Field watcher is not supported with Next Experience.  You have to switch back to UI16.

You can switch back to UI16 through toggle button "Disable Unified Navigation". You can enable this by adding the system property glide.ui.polaris.on_off_user_pref_enabled with value true.

Thank you @Ranjane_Omkar for the solution.

 

Hi @Community Alums,

 

Field Watcher has been depreciated in Next Experience UI. If you really need it then you will have to switch back to UI16 and enable Field Watcher like below:

You can switch back to UI16 through toggle button "Disable Unified Navigation". You can enable this by enabling the system property - glide.ui.polaris.on_off_user_pref_enabled

Once you switch back to UI16, you can enable the Field watcher in developer options.

But this won't stay as soon as you switch back to Next Experience, this will be gone.

The New Feature which is supported is Debug Next Experience

The approach is already explained by @Ranjane_Omkar  and @Rishi Kendale
