Late reply to an old thread, but how hard would it be for QB to put an export function here instead of worrying about changing reports and other features that make no meaningful difference?  This seems like a basis admin feature that is (still 4 years later) completely missed by QB.

There is not a download button, but I was able to copy and paste the field list  from the Quickbase page into Excel.

    Mark:

    Yes, I was able to do a copy/paste as well, and then mess with the data in Excel.  A little "export list" feature would be nice, and I don't think asking too much from QB.

    Thank you!

      @Tony Scott

      Hey all!

      I created a utility using Tampermonkey that puts a button on the page that will download a CSV of all of the field info for the fields that are currently being displayed. Here's a link to the GitHub project with this and other admin utilities, follow the readme to install the QuickbaseFieldExport UserScript. It uses jQuery to capture all of the field information, so it will probably break easily, but oh well.

      Here's a gif of it in action:


      Let me know what you think.

        OR...You could download the "App Library" app from the Exchange and use that to grab the total schema of an app in a matter of seconds.
