Copy the list definition to a file when filing a DFFS support request

The code snippet linked below is used to dump all the list fields to a file to enable me to recreate the list when investigating a possible bug in DFFS.

How to use the snippet

Go to the DFFS enabled list you want to copy, and change the URL from …/Lists/ExampleListName/ExampleViewName.aspx to …/Lists/
ExampleListName /NewForm.aspx.

Hit F12 to bring up the developer console and paste the code directly in the console and hit Enter.

This will download the field definition as a file that you can email to me or attach in a forum post.

The file only contains the name and description of the fields, and choices in a choice field so there should not be any compromising information in the file.
