How to find out who has deleted dictionary entry

[Ilkka Kangas]

Hi,

I recently discovered that one field of a table is missing (has been deleted). I discovered that the first time an error occurred because of a missing field is on 8.4.2023. I cannot find any update (sys_update_xml) that deletes the field. Is there any other way to find out the deletion timestamp and the user?

Thanks

Hi,

As mentioned earlier, deleted dictionary entries should be found in sys_metadata_deleted:

/sys_metadata_delete_list.do?sysparm_query=sys_db_object%3Dsys_dictionary

You should see some of them deleted by ServiceNow... are you able to see them?

Then if you can see some of them but not the one you are looking for, maybe you can check in the update set versions:

/sys_update_version_list.do?sysparm_query=nameSTARTSWITHsys_dictionary_

Hope that helps!

Hi,

I tried to search both places but cannot find anything. I try to reach support. Let's see if they can find something. 

Thanks
