**Feature Request: Dependency-checking tool**

- Airtable is great on this front, because I can right-click on a field and immediately pull up all dependencies across any other fields referencing that field, any automations, and even Interfaces using that field.
- What would be awesome is if Noloco offered a dependency-checking tool where you can select a Noloco column OR Airtable field and pull up all the places its used in the app (across workflows, fields in collections, and logical conditions).
- This would save so much time and prevent a lot of accidentally-broken features when making critical changes.

Really need something like this. Would be great to check per field:

Where it’s used  
Which roles can view/edit/update this field

Yeah this comes up semi-regularly for me now. The problem is that if a dropdown value gets changed in Airtable for example, everything in Noloco breaks and depending on the use-case, it can be really challenging to find all the places that value was used in logical conditions. Makes ongoing dev a bit temperamental
