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 Chi,

Thanks for the screenshots. I am assuming assigned_to field is from one of the extended table i.e Task in this case.

You can delete the custom columns. Can you please create a custom field for testing purpose and check the behavior once.

I create this "test" field, but still have no option to delete

Thanks

Hi Chi,

That's weird. That is not the expected behavior. Seems like bug to me.

hello, pat,

I have the same problem with you, did you finally find a solution for this bug?

Thanks,

Same issue here...

I created a custom column as part of a custom (but extended table) and now can not delete the newly created custom column.
