Dapre Custom Fields Tools

Description

This plugin is a ‘swiss army knife’ of custom fields. It allows you to manipulate them to make it easy the testing and debugging of applications.

This plugin was built in a moment of desperation when I couldn’t access phpMyAdmin in a mu website.
I absolutely needed to manipulate the custom fields for testing and debugging, version 1.0 was up in 4 hours.
In the following months I realized how useful the plugin was and couldn’t work anymore without it. It had become part of my standard toolset.

Features:
1 Read/write/delete options, user fields and post fields.
2 Populate the field with an empty array.
3 Insert a date string and translate it into a timestamp or vice versa to emulate specific dates.
4 Change name to a field.
5 Copy any field’s content to any other field (for example, option to user field) even of a different name.

You can contribute to the plugin or just study the code on the Github repo.
