Trace Field

It would be really nice to be able to easily trace a selected field through a workflow (see below, trace in green). This would greatly help with troubleshooting.

@simonaubert_bd  You're completely correct, we did demo this feature at Inspire 2019 so this idea can be updated to Accepted. We'll update this status again once we're close to launching this feature.

Any updates on this enhancement? I was hoping to see it in the release note for 2020.1.

Hey everyone, pretty sure this functionality snuck into to 2019.4 via the new CTRL+F functionality as you can see in the screenshot below where everything with the word "Opted" is highlighted yellow
