QuickFieldToggle v1.0.0 1.0.0

Hey everyone 👋 I built a plugin to solve a problem that's been driving me crazy, and I'm hoping it helps some of you too.

The Problem

I have 31,000 games in LaunchBox across 70+ platforms. I use custom fields heavily—tracking what I'm playing, managing a backlog, tagging award winners, marking first-party releases, organizing by era. It's a metadata system that works really well for discovery and organization.
Except for one thing: actually maintaining it is miserable.

You know the drill:
Right-click → Edit → Custom Fields tab → scroll → find field → change value → OK

That's 6+ clicks per field. Per game. If you're tagging a batch of games, it takes even more steps. When managing a play queue across thousands of titles, the friction compounds fast. I'd put off updating my metadata because it just wasn't worth the hassle.

The Solution: QuickFieldToggle

QuickFieldToggle puts your custom field actions directly in the right-click context menu.
One click. Done.

What It Does

✅ Single-click toggling — Toggle any custom field on/off instantly
✅ Create fields on-the-fly — No pre-setup needed, just define them in your config
✅ Multi-field actions — "Move to Now Playing" sets one field AND clears others
✅ Multi-value picker — For semicolon-separated fields, check/uncheck values from a submenu
✅ Conditional menus — Show "Nintendo Tools" only for Nintendo games
✅ Visual indicators — Checkmarks show current state
✅ Custom icons — Use platform icons or your own
✅ Hot reload — Edit config without restarting LaunchBox
✅ 100% JSON config — No coding required

Example Use Case

• Play Queue — "Move to Now Playing" / "Move to Backlog" / "On Deck" with mutual exclusivity
• Award Tracking — Quick-add awards from your existing values, auto-set "Any Award Won" flag
• Platform-Specific Tools — "First Party" toggle that only shows for Nintendo games
• Era Management — Set console generation, platform era, lifecycle phase
• Discovery Tags — "The Best" and "Discovery Bin" for standout titles
