delete column on custom table?

[patk1000]

I discovered a "feature" of ServiceNow where I am unable to delete a column ON A CUSTOM TABLE that is not prefixed with 'u_'. For example, there is no button to delete a table named 'user_global_snat'.

I need to delete it rather than simply marking as inactive and ignoring it.

I tried mucking with the live JS in developer console to enable the 'X' button, but the delete operation didn't actually work.

Hi Pat,

You mean "user_global_snat'" is a OOTB field?

[patk1000]

It is not. The "user_global_snat" column was created by myself on a table I created. Thats where a bit of the frustration is.

There should be "Delete column" button on the header if you go to the dictionary of the field.

Please make sure you are in the right scope. "Delete column" button will not be visible if you are trying to delete it from other scope.

No luck. No option to delete in drop down, and nothing in the header. Yep, I'm in the right scope. I love magic.
