You can delete a field for a record type in a schema from the Fields
grid.
Before you begin
Before you delete a field consider the impact to existing schemas,
states, actions, hooks, and queries.
The following restrictions apply to
deleting fields:
- In the Rational® ClearQuest® Client,
any queries that use a deleted field are no longer valid and must be edited
by removing the deleted field from the query or the query must be deleted.
- When you delete a field, the DB Column Name generated for the field (by
default, the same as the field name) is retained. If you later reuse the same
name to create a new field, a unique DB Column Name is generated.
- If you explicitly refer to the name of a field in script code and then
delete that field, you must also remove references to the deleted field from
the script code.
- You cannot delete a system field. In the Record Fields grid, system fields
are dimmed.
