Deleting columns in Dataverse table

Posted on by 2,407 Super User 2024 Season 1

I know that I need to clear the dependencies in order to delete a column in a table. I have looked at the dependencies for the table and they are all listed as "Entity Relationships" 

I have not created anything other that a few tables in this solution. I realised I spelled a column name wrong, so I wanted to delete it and create a new one. Is there a way to find the depepndecy for a single column? I'm not even sure how to get to some of these "Entity" items. What do I do after I find them to remove that column from the depenency?

I was trying to delete rather than re-name, maybe that isn't necesary? I'm used to working with Sharepoint tables in PowerApps where changing the name is frought with consequences.

I have the same question (0)

    Hi @BrianS ,

    You should be able to see dependencies on a specific column from the Maker Portal, see the following:

    I am having the same problem. Simple text column on a table, cannot delete it due to dependencies. Do i need to delete all table records so that I can delete a column? I have read some complicated answers regarding solutions, etc. but I had just created a custom table with custom columns, and this one is simple text.
