I'd like to get our business users to more completely fillin in the Description text and Inline Help for many custom fields.  Visiting each via the web interface to definitions would be tedius.  What I'd like is a way to import/export/report metadata for custom field definitions are flat fields.  (Editing XML is a bit too techie.)  Unfortunately, unlike most RDMSs, SF doesn't represent Metadata as data so you can't use SOQL on metadata or update it with Apex.  I know there is a Metadata API but I don't have time to write an application using it to build an editor.

Does anyone know of any existing utility that will allow exporting, reporting, and importing of some attributes of custom fields? 

I'd want to export/report the type, name, api name, description, and inline help.  I'd like import description and maybe inline help.

Any ideas?

I know this is weird I can achieve this using Roll up summary .But what I want is to achieve this using trigger.

 

I want to write a trigger on Account ,which is having a field named Count__c .I want to autopopulate the nos of Contacts associated with that Account .

 

My code is not working thats why seeking help .
