Dataverse plugin debugger is the tool that can be used to debug dataverse plugins. This tool is not an extension of the plugin registration tool, and it doesn’t use any components of it. The main difference with the standard plugin registration tool debugger is that the tool can visualize, save, and update debugging profiles, which will then be sent to the plugin for execution.
