Doesn't work

Martin Kioshi, 2025-02-20I've been a long time user of this extension and it seems to work perfectly! I did have to untick the "input fields only" checkmark to get it to work for my use case but that's a feature NOT a bug!!

Siddhartha Mishra, 2025-01-08Great little extension, works great. I'm a dev and have to work with another dev's front end UI that constantly has "undefined" errors for common elements, or repetitive form field data with errors and typos, I don't have his source file or I would just write a bug fix, but failing that I found this little gem and it saves boatloads of time and quickly updates those issues with the correct input values.
