Hey Phil,
I already tried that but I got an error " You have specified a field already in use (ARERR 2326). I tried that what Misi told me to do, but when I re-import the form (BMC Remedy Administrator at Tools à Import Definition à From Definition File) the changes I made in the def-file were not excepted. When I export the Form after the re-import the def file is just like the first def-file before I made my changes. Do I made a wrong re-import for the form? I haven't done this before I use Remedy 7.1 Patch 8 Thanks a lot Regards Christoph -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Misi Mladoniczky Sent: Friday, April 15, 2011 12:44 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: field not really deleted Hi, 1. Export the form to a def-file. 2. Edit the def with notepad. 3. Search for the persistent field id. 4. Delete the field {..} from the def field { id : xxx ... } 5. Subtract one from the form-field-count near the beginning. num-fields : n 5. Import the changed def in place. Best Regards - Misi, RRR AB, http://www.rrr.se Products from RRR Scandinavia (Best R.O.I.

I deleted the field and then I saved the form. After that I wanted to create the same field with the same ID and I got an error. I have other views, but the field-ID doesn't exist in any other view. Are there any other ideas? Thanks a lot.

That that is one of the first things that bit me when I was just learning Remedy (v4 and have never forgotten). I deleted a field thinking it only removed the field from the view but actually delete the field and data in the database.

When I create a field (date, char, int, whatever) it gets a right database-id automatically. If I delete it, the field and the ID are deleted in BMC-Remedy-Administrator but not in database. If I want to create a new field with the deleted field-id, I get an error: Is there anyone who had the same problem or know anything to do?
