Can I move fields created on a table from one application to another

[anfield]

I have installed a plugin in our development environment called cmdb ci models. In that app there are some new tables. I added some new fields to that app, but in the global scope. Theyre in my update set. is there any way I can move the fields to the other app - the cmdb_ci_models app?

Thanks

No. That is not possible.

The only solution is to delete them in Global Scope app and recreate them in CMDB Model app.

Is it best practice to create the fields in the CMDB model app - if the table itself is part of that app? I realized this was an issue when trying to create a UI policy - I could not select the fields I wanted until I was in the CMDB app - but the fields werent available as they were added in the global app. So best to delete and create in the CMDB app?

Yes...Best practice is to keep the field dictionary on the same scope as the table. 

So the best option is to delete them from global scope and recreate in the correct scope.

Hey anfield,

You can not move fields from one table to another but you can create fields in cmdb_ci_models app. Yes its a best practice.

kindly mark Correct and Helpful if applicable.
