Made a little extension so I'd stop guessing customfield IDs

Hi all, happy Friday!

You know that moment when you need a field's real ID for JQL or a script, and Jira just won't show you customfield_10042 anywhere on the page? Got tired of that, so I built a small Chrome extension to fix it for myself. First time posting something like this, curious what people think.

Click the toolbar icon on any Jira Cloud issue and it lists every field with its real ID, click one and it's copied. Bulk copy too, if you want all custom, all system, or everything at once.

Turns out useful even if you're not an admin, if you need to raise a ticket about a specific field, the actual ID beats "that dropdown under the description."

It's free, the source is on GitHub if you want to look under the hood: https://github.com/vlsmt/jira-idspector

Happy to hear your thoughts on this.

This is a very helpful add-on. I'm always having to look for the custom field ids. Thank you!

Nice work! I can't count how many times I've ended up opening DevTools or the REST API just to grab a custom field ID. This definitely fills a small but annoying gap.
