You may also look at generated HTML source. By default there are info there on which artifacts were used during generation, pretty
uselful in most cases.

Hi Brian,
that looks good indeed. But is there a higher value of this debug mode
compared to browser tools like Firebug?
Have a good day

Hi Dev group,
I'm very new to OFBiz, so I may be covering old ground. If not, I'd like to
propose a debug mode for the UI of OFBiz along the lines of that in OLAT.
If you've never seen it, take a look at:
http://demo.olat.org/demo/dmz/
- click the word "System Administrator" in the dropdown to fill in the
username/password form.
- once you are logged in as "System Administrator" click the tiny green bug
icon in the upper left corner of the page to turn on debug mode.
- click the word "Debug" in the panel that appears.
- move your mouse around the rest of the screen to see the templates and
controllers associated with the various parts of the view.
I find that with this debug mode available I can be productive modifying the
front end of OLAT right away, whereas after a few weeks of looking at OFBiz
I still struggle to find/remember where things are located.
I'd be willing to work on this, but really at this point I'm just wondering
if others think it's a useful (and feasible) feature, and/or if something
similar already exists that I just missed.
Brian
