How to make user be able to view all fields

I remember years back, when I give "View All Data" or "Modify All data" system permission at the profile level, it will automatically give all FLS.  but when I check today, it seems only give object level permission, we still need to manually check all FLS for all objects. is there a easier way to grant all FLS to profile?

That's odd - I don't recall ever being able to grant a profile access to all fields by setting "Modify All Data" to true. My understanding is that this setting has to do with record sharing, not field visibility. I've always manually set Field Level Security on each field.

Modify All permission:

and to your actual question: I don't know of a way to grant a profile Visible access to field level security on a field without doing it on a field-by-field basis.

THanks Andrew, is there an easier way to grand all fields access to mulitple profile? by Apex or some app?

I've never tried to do such a thing, but a quick Google search brough up some articles that suggest it is possible.
