Counting the number of forms with a certain field?

Is there an easy way to querry the system to figure out how many (count or percent) of the forms that I am using have a certain field on them?

I have been asked to do an analysis of the quantities of forms with phone number on them (and then another of phone number as a required field).  Short of opening each form in preview/edit (is there a keyboard shortcut for this), is there an easy way to do this?

I am guessing a manual approach is the only way, but any help on not opening several hundred forms would be most welcome!

Hi Matt,

If you go to Admin > Field Management and select the Phone Number field, you will see a list of all assets, including forms, that currently use that field.  You'll have to copy/paste the names of the forms into a document and inspect the forms manually to see if the field is required or not.
