 returns up to the first 8000 characters of the Fields XML document for each action that is expired at the current time.
+
+Because Fields is dynamic and allows for custom entries, there is no one list for all possible Fields. 
+It is possible to generate a list of all of your current Fields for use in the dbo.fn_ExtractField() function by using the sql code below. Note that you can change dbo.action_defs to dbo.fixlet_defs or to any other tables with the Fields column to get the respective lists of existing Fields.
