Deleting custom fields

Delete one or multiple custom field definitions while keeping their values assigned to existing objects.

Deleting a custom field definition removes it from the project, and the objects keep the values that were assigned to them.

Context

If you delete a custom field definition in use within your testing project, the custom field values remain assigned to the respective objects. You have the option to remove some values or delete the custom field completely by removing all values.

Deleted custom fields are still applied to your existing objects. The value is set to free-form text and it does not retain any previously defined value. Deleting the value flags the custom field with an asterisk symbol.

Prerequisites

• Only Administrators can create and configure custom fields.

Steps

1. Open your project in Test Manager.
2. Navigate to Project Settings and then to Custom field definitions.
3. Select one or more custom fields.
4. Select Delete.

Result

The selected custom field definitions are deleted from the project.
