Disabling Deprecated Fields in Power Apps Without Deleting

Posted on by MiniLaLa

In a Power Apps Model-Driven App, I have several fields prefixed with "(DEPRECATED)". Although I've removed these fields from forms and views, I don't want users to be able to add them to their views when editing columns. How can I disable these fields so they can't be used, without deleting them from Dataverse?

You can achivie that by unchek the value "Searchable" on the field level, so it will not be available in the views to be used or filtered.

You can also change the security on the columns, just in case, to prevent editing, reading or creating.

pls try the following:

Set the Field Status to Deprecated: Dataverse Field Settings allow you to mark fields as deprecated without deleting them.

When deploying in a managed solution, set deprecated fields as hidden by default so they don’t appear as available columns to non-admin users

This disabled filtering, MichaelFP , but I can still select these columns on unfortunately.
