any way to sort through Rules such as: "Which Rules Invoke Which Fields", or "What Rules are Triggered When Content Type B is Created" ?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I am curious whether there area add on modules providing additional ways to sort Rules.

For instance, to see which Rules contain Field A within an Action.

Or to see which Rules are triggered when Content Type B is Created.

Have been looking at add on modules but do not find these functions. Thank you.

None that I know

I don't think there are any such modules. Theoretically it should be quite possible to do this, and it should even be possible to write Views handlers to view and filter Rules components. (Rules Scheduler has Views integration, but I just checked and it doesn't provide any information about the related components.)

Sometimes a field is not populated as expected, and I was wondering how others think through what went wrong, but it sounds like it is generally searching through Rules. I use the Debug but Rules are triggered when regular users are using the site so Debug is not always an option.

Rules Debug?

If you enable debug tracing in Rules you can see which rules got triggered while testing, and you can limit your search to only those triggered when something did go wrong.

One problem is of course that Rules debugging is global, for every user. It would be nice if you could limit it to certain roles... Thus: have a "Debug Rules" permission.
