Description of the need
In https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/5791 we are looking into providing a list of enabled modules. This however was in response to a perceived need for site information for debugging.
As in Q: "My site is producing fatal errors" A: "What modules you have installed?"
But I find that frequently other questions accompany, like "What Backdrop/PHP/MySQL version, which theme are you using, is Javascript aggregated, etc etc"
Noting that the Status Report page provides a lot of that info already, but is not printable, and may be too much info in some situations
Proposed solution
A link/button on the status Report page to print a report. I propose a radio with two options: "full", and "Basic" (or maybe "Safe"). When you click the button you get the Status report info in printable format, with added stuff like enabled/disabled modules, themes, layout, etc etc. "Full" prints everything on the Status Report page, "Basic/Safe" would be default, and print only stuff that shouldn't put your site at risk if you post it in the Forums.
An example of a similar effort for WP is this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/website-information-report/
Alternatives that have been considered
A View of enabled modules alone is being considered for core in https://github.com/backdrop/backdrop-issues/issues/5791

@yorkshirepudding, In the end I fixed it by deleting the config/active folder contents, copying the config/staging/ files into config/active, importing the database again and clearing the caches...
Importing the staged config throws an error: another field with the same name already exists
Thanks, I have to go out now, I will try later on and report back

Hi Francis. Yes, what config do you have in staging for it? You might have configs like: field.field.field_video_embed field.instance.node.page....
