While working with pure proxy extrinsics, I needed to retrieve the extrinsic index associated with the proxy.PureCreated.
Currently, the Polkadot.js web app allows users to view the block details under Network → Explorer, and the events within that block are shown. However, as far as I know, there isn’t a direct way to view or query the extrinsic index associated with a given event, aside from manually counting the extrinsics — which can be tedious and error-prone, especially for blocks with many entries.
I’ve attached a screenshot showing a block’s extrinsic events, along with what I assume is a chain state query for the block’s extrinsics (substrate.extrinsicIndex).
Expected Behavior
It would be helpful if the Explorer view (or a related API query) allowed users to:
- See the
extrinsic_index for each event directly in the UI
- Or, alternatively, query the extrinsic index from the chainstate UI
