Drupal Bill of Lading Module v1.2 Released with Custom Field Support

Senior Drupal Architect and Technical Program Manager, Jeff Greenberg, has announced the release of version 1.2 of the Bill of Lading contributed module for Drupal. The update introduces support for listing custom fields associated with entities and bundles, addressing user requests to improve site inventory clarity.

Version 1.2 refines the module’s output by including only custom fields, excluding Drupal core fields for a more focused overview. The module is primarily used for generating structural inventories of Drupal sites, helping developers assess content architecture at a glance.

Bill of Lading provides a custom Drush command, bol, which compiles a summary of the site’s structure. The command supports all standard Drush output formats via the --format option, allowing integration with existing workflows. Information included in the bill of lading is already present within the Drupal admin interface. Still, the module consolidates it for faster reference, particularly useful during site audits, migrations, or architectural reviews.

The module supports both Drupal 10 and 11 sites, and can also analyse Drupal 7 databases set as migration sources. To run the tool against a D7 database, users must configure the legacy database in the site’s settings file and use the --d7 option when executing the command.
