Tim Bouscal (ID: 0000000f25a8dc0f) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 10/27/2022 Works well in both Classic and Lightning. I like that it also shows the record id at the top of the detail page. I have seen a few fields that it won't show the API name but it appears to be intermittent and resolved by refreshing the page.
