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that use a deleted field are no longer valid and must be edited by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.
Procedure
To
delete a field:
- Start the Designer.
- In the ClearQuest Schema
Repository Explorer view, expand the Record Types folder
in your schema and then double-click on a record type. The
record type editor opens.
- Click the Fields tab to view the
Records Fields grid.
- In the Record Fields grid, right-click the
row of the field you want to delete and click Remove.
Results
After you remove a field from the Record Fields grid, you
must delete the field from any record forms that include the field.
