delete column on custom table?

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.

Hello, David



I finally find it has something to do with the table id,   my application was created based on template, when i create the table, the table id is not generated correctly with the application scope name as prefix, then made the costume table as a system table, resulting me unable to delete.



I tried to create my application from Scratch, and check if the table id generate with correct scope prefix, and then it works for me.



You can try this way. Good luck



Best,

Same issue here.


Created a column on a table that extends Service Order (sm_order) in a scoped application.   Unable to delete.
