Hi Folks,

 

I have been stuck up with creating a simple Yes/No choice field in Business application field. SOX is the field I have created with Yes/No option, due to typo error some invalid options are created, and I am unable to delete them from sys_choice list.  When i delete and recreate SOX field same options are coming up.

When I try to make the options inactive. Its saying you are doing modification in enterprise application. Just want to confirm its a best practice. Either way I want to delete this junk , cannot move to production.

Can you please give your valuable suggestions please.

Hi @dvass0107 ,

Before deleting the choice records, a couple of things to double-check:

  1. Scope:
    Make sure you’re in the same application scope where the choice values were originally created. If you’re in a different scope, the platform won’t let you modify or delete them.

  2. Permissions 
    Verify that you have the right permissions to delete records from the  sys_choice table. If you’re already an admin, try elevating your role (Security Admin) and then attempt the deletion.

With the correct scope and elevated permissions, you should be able to clean up those invalid options directly from the sys_choice list.

 

Thanks & Regards,
