Hello super joomlers!
I know, I know. You will likely tell me that there will be conflicts by using custom fields by name because names are not necessarily unique.
But there is a solution for that. Using a naming convention for your custom fields. For example for article content custom fields you could use something like article-my-field.
Besides this convention. You can use this oneliner sample code rather than trying to memorize custom fields id by heart even if we might have written the ids down on a document it's a painful task.
Here is an attempt to simplify this task.

WHY ?
This project start because of a challenge a joomler friend of mine posted in JUG Breizh on FB on February 16th 2021 The challenge was: Given an url structure like: /parent-category/subcat-a/article-1 /parent-category/subcat-a/article-2 /parent-category/subcat-c/article-7 How to make it work with urls like: /parent-category/article-1 /parent-category/article-2 /parent-category/article-7 In other words without the subcategory
WHAT ?
The answer to that delicious puzzle was custom router rules.
HOW ?
TLDR; Custom router rules injected via a system plugin onAfterInitialise event just right after Joomla! started "booting"
