How to delete and deactivate a custom field

Use the Delete field option in the context menu to completely remove a custom field. It is not possible to delete a custom field if one or more object has specified a value for that field.

It is possible to use the Deactivate field option in the context menu, even if one or more object have a specified value. This will changes the status from Status 4 to Status 9 and removes the field from the application(s). No data is lost when the custom field is deactivated, and it is possible to reactivate the field later with the Activate field option in the context menu.
