Sure, experienced devs and people that have drush/bee available would run drush pml or bee pml and grab a lists of modules, but this person on the forum posted multiple screenshots of the modules listing page when asked: https://forum.backdropcms.org/comment/3572#comment-3572 ...and they had to do it in multiple screenshots, in multiple posts.
When later they mentioned that they had the same issue on a different site, and asked to compare the versions of modules between the 2 sites, they responded:
a lot are common difficult to say it can take hours to test
If Backdrop core allowed the person to easily extract plain-text lists of the modules on each site, then it would be easier for them to compare the lists.
I would like us to introduce an easy way (under the rest of the site reports I guess), to allow people to get a plain-text list of modules/themes/layouts etc., which they can then copy/paste to forum posts and issues if that is requested of them.
Another thought is to add "export" links/buttons in key pages, like the site status report, that would allow people to grab a plain-text list of php, version, db type/version, web server type/version etc.
All that would allow us to provide instructions like the bellow in issue templates (fictional scenario - assumptions about the way we implement this feature):
- Navigate to Reports -> Status report using the admin bar at the top of the site
- Click the "Copy basic information" link at the top-right of the page.
- Paste this information here.

This saved my day, exactly what I had cooked up but I could not find the necessary settings. Thanks a bundle :)
How to relate one view to different nodes?
Welcome to Backdrop and I'm glad you are enjoying using it. If you need help feel free to posts questions in the 'How-To and Troubleshooting' thread.
Hello - Glad to met Backdrop
I have just received notification from my hosting provider of a similar upgrade, ie MariaDB 10.3 to 10.6 and later to 10.11. Is there any reason to suppose this will cause any problems...
