Can we delete form fields?

Abnoos Moslehi

Hi,

Sometimes I want to completely delete a field from a form & to also delete the corresponding column in the destination tracker.

Is it possible?!

Thank you!

Hi @Abnoos Moslehi 

Hope you are fine, yes you can remove a field from the form, and if you delete the corresponding column in the destination tracker the failed related to that column will be removed automatically from your form.

Hi @Abnoos Moslehi

Hope you are fine, as i understand from what you are doing you are not removing the column you just remove this column from the form display if it's possible for you and you can share me on test sheet i can show you how you can do it.

Hi @Abnoos Moslehi

To add to Bassam's excellent answer/comments.

If you delete the column from the sheet, it should also disappear from the form and other places.

If it doesn't and, If you haven’t already, I would recommend that you reach out to the Smartsheet Support Team.

Let us know what you find out?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hi @Bassam.M Khalil

Thanks for your reply.

When I remove a field from the form it moves to the lest side of the page, sort of archived rather than completely removed.

Same is with the tracker. I can delete those columns but they in fact just archived. When I make automations I still see those redundant columns as option to choose in my automations.

When I copy a row to another sheet all of those columns appear again!

Thank you! I think your tips helped I just tested all over again and looks like when I remove a field from the form it actually goes away completely from the form Edit page.
