Gal Katz

I accidently deleted a table column.
I tried restoring it from the Deleted Records table (sys_metadata_delete) but i cant find it over there.
Any suggestions?

Hi,

I dont think Dictionary goes in the deleted record table.

If this is present in any other instance(UAT/Prod etc) then you can export xml form there and import in your instance.

Otherwise just create new.

Hi thanks for your reply!

Dictionary Enteries do go in the Deleted Records table.

I can see all of them except the one I need

In addition, creating it again will not helpbecause whats important is not the field itself wich i can create in seconds, but the values on each record.

Also tried using the history of the records to try and find it but for some reason i can only see calendar view wich is not helpfull like list view is for me.

Found this but I guess you have already tried all the methods mentioned here

Even if you can recreate the field or restore it, You wont get the column data back for each row.
