Removing metadata fields, LOV or LOV values
XML setup structures can be designed for removing fields, List of Values (LOV) or LOV values.
About this task
Be sure to know the name of
- the element you want to remove;
- the element containing the element you want to remove.
You can remove references between structure elements or delete a field, LOV or LOV Value.
Removal: When you remove references of a field from a card type for example, the field cannot be filled in for that card type anymore. However, this field remains in the database and can be referenced from other card types.
Deletion: The field, LOV or LOV Value can no longer be referenced anywhere. If there are still references to the structure element you are trying to delete, the delete operation will fail.
