Remove column from Dataverse table - simple way

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 57

I have my own environment. There is a table. In the table, I have created 20 columns (data type: currency). I did not put any values in there. I want just right after I created it to remove the columns. I cannot do it because of some dependencies. I did not create any dependencies. I did not create any solutions (although there are some defaults, I suppose). How can I remove the f... columns without destroying the whole table?

I would be grateful for a dummy instruction.

BTW how it could be that something so basic like column removal is so not intuitive and complicated!

    If you do not need to review those  dependencies and just want to automatically remove them from all places before deletion, you can use the Attribute Manager tool from XrmToolBox. The tool will handle removing the dependencies and delete the column.

     

    If you are curious what is causing that dependencies error even though you did not create any dependencies, you can check out the dependencies in the column settings.

    you need to check the dependencies, probably are simple ones like the column has been added to a form or a view. You will need to remove the dependencies before removing the column
