Need help understanding logic behind field creation in complex Alteryx workflow

I have a complex Alteryx workflow with numerous tools, making it challenging to navigate. At the end of the workflow, there is a field created through various manipulations, including helper fields and parse tools. How can I determine the sequence of tools used to create this field and understand the overall logic behind its creation? Is there a better way than just searching through each tool (There are probably 200 tools and they all load pretty slow)?

It may not be a perfect solution for you, but the metadata will give you a source for the fields that may make backtracking it a bit easier.

@fiddycodes The field info tool will also give you the meta data information
