List of custom fields

[afrocuban]

Hello Ivek.


Is there a way we can get a full comprehensive list of custom fields, at least from IMDb scripts, with names and types of fields?
I'd like to get it because my goal is to create a skin which will include all the fields I'm able to collect. I want to split custom fields to different tabs with different names, unlike Classic skin where all the custom fields are generated in a single section.


Thank you in advance.

A nice number of custom fields with descriptions can be found in the " Possibles improving Custom Fields working in MOD version " topic at the link below.

I will probably also make and publish a list of custom fields, but I don't know when yet, because I'm working and editing other things.

Oh, great I now remember that topic, thanks Ivek! I am already doing that, but then realized it's better to ask to avoid possible redundance, so I can prepare some list. I have identified over 160 custom fields so far. Some of them are obsolete, some are mine personal (for offline, physical, manual tracing movies), and the rest I've extracted from scripts.


I'll keep them all for archive reasons. I'll probably create some sheet with at least five columns: Name, Type, Skin (Movie/People), Public/Personal, Obsolete/Not and will publish it at some point then, so we could fine tuning it afterward.

Great and thanks.

Here's the most comprehensive list of both original and custom fields through many active and obsolete scripts, I have managed to gather.


If you want me to add fields from any other script please do not post links to the script, upload script here, or I won't be able to add it to the list. That is how we will easier track which additional scripts are added.

Probably very interesting column is column D which shows if script field is active or inactive ("hidden") in the script, so you might want to change the script if you find some inactive field in active script for yourself, and you even didn't know it's there. Not every hidden field will import data when activated, be aware, so if you're not sure, better ask Ivek.

List of my custom films is in column H. Yours is different so change it carefully if you want to know which custom fields from scripts you don't have added to your PVD. For this filter either column B or G for "No Custom Field Added in PVD for This Field".


There are many formulas in the file in order to help automation of future adding, as well as for better visibility inside the file, so be careful with any customization especially because of array formulas and conditional formatting.


It would be nice someone to change exclusively in column B what types of PVD fields are those in column A, with "No Custom Field Added in PVD for This Field" in column B. Please do not change this in column G. I added column B intentionally for this change only.


If you have any question, I'll do my best to respond.

Great work, afrocuban!

Thank you. Another tip: if you filter column "J" for "For Script", and column "L" for "blanks", you can see what custom fields in your PVD are not in any script stated in the table (thus most probably in any other, but for sure not in any active, because I extracted from a lot of scripts and from all currently active), so you might want to delete those fields from your PVD as useless. Of course, be extremely careful.
