Cannot Delete Function Field

[syed_but_not]

I was trying to create a function field for a database view but it broke things and I can't delete it now. When I try to delete the Dictionary Entry from the list view, nothing happens and the record remains there. When I try to open the record it just loads a blank white screen and stops. I can't even load the database view anymore either. What do I do?

I also keep getting this error:

Internal Server Error (500)
Cannot invoke "com.glide.db.functions.ADBFunction.toString()" because the return value of "com.glide.db.functions.DBFunctionUtil.parseFunction(String, String)" is null Check logs for error trace or enable glide.rest.debug property to verify REST request processing

[-O-]

Have you tried deleting the created record (I'm assuming it is a sys_dictionary record) through Scripts - Background?

I have, it gives me an error

Couldn't decipher the stack trace resulting from the following JavaScriptException:

Hi!  This same thing happened to me.  How did you end up fixing it?

We cloned our subprod instance so it got wiped in that process, was not able to figure out how to delete it
