Oh nooo!!! Just noticed the warning from google: "This extension may soon no longer be supported because it doesn't follow best practices for Chrome extensions." Can this be updated please or at least an alternative? its a must have.

Definitely could use a update on this so its a solid plugin for custom objects and such. Take more time to confirming than to switch over to the field list and pull it myself unfortunately.
