Can I safely delete custom fields?
Added by Robert Schneider about 13 years ago
Hi,
I'd like to remove some fields that were used by one project that is already archived. But, what happens with those fields and their values in the archived project? Is it then possible to reactivated the archived project?
Thank you!
Robert

See my reply in RE: What happens when deleting custom field?. It's the same for archived projects AFAIK...

You were used some custom fields in a project and you had archived it. Now you don't need these custom fields in the other projects, do you? If this is your case you may do the following:
- Do not select 'For all projects' for the unwanted custom fields (needs administration rights)
- Do not select these fields in the other projects configuration.
This way the custom field will exist in the archived project and will not exist in the others.
