Is it possible to delete a Custom Field but have it retained in a Profile
April 21, 2008, 07:34:19 pm
Hi - I am wondering what I have done with a Participant Custom Field. I can see it on the drop down list in a CiviCRM Profile Fields - Field Name box

But when I go look for it in Custom Data I don't see it. Is it possible I deleted the Custom Field but it still shows, and functions, in the Profile. It still shows up when I test drive the Event.

I seem to have replicated this in Demo. IE set up custom data - use in Profile - delete custom group - doesn't seem to affect the Profile - but is the data being collected, stored and is it going to be available when we export the Participant data?


Cheers.

Hmm - well I found my field (in different group and in different order in that group  ::)) forgot that the profile order isn't same as custom group necessarily
