Remove Studio Fields

Add the users to the new security group(Remove Studio Fields: Administrator) to give access to the new menu item.

New menu

Enable debug mode to see the new menu; Technical -> Database Structure -> Remove Studio Fields to access the new wizard.

Select Studio fields for delete

In the wizard, you can select the fields which are added using Studio.

More fields can be selected from the tree view

Click on 'Search More...' from the dropdown to open the tree view to select more fields. As we can have multiple fields with same name as mentioned in the Overview, it is recommended to select all those fields together(the one which is added through Studio and the other fields created automatically).

Delete field: Lose data

Once you delete a field, you will lose the data stored with that field. So, ensure that you don't need the data anymore. Else, backup or store the data before deleting the fields. Click on the button 'REMOVE FIELDS' to delete the selected fields.

Check the views

If we delete the fields which are added in any view, we cannot access those views. So, we have to remove the fields from the view before deleting. This module makes this step easier. It checks the views first and return the list of fields and the views in which the fields are used. Then, we can either open the corresponding view through Studio, select the field in the view, and click on the button 'REMOVE FROM VIEW', or we can navigate to Settings/ Technical/ User Interface/ Views, search for the view and edit the XML code to remove the field from the view.

Notification

If we don't have the fields in any views or if we already removed the fields from the views, then a notification will be displayed after deleting the fields.
