Remove fields from a project

Before you begin

Beware that removing fields from a project might impact views:

  • When a project field is deleted, values get lost.

  • If you remove a global field from the project, it still exists at the site level and in other projects.

  • System fields cannot be deleted nor removed, only be hidden in views.

Steps

  1. In your discovery project, go to Project settings > Fields > Project.

  2. Select the field you want to delete and confirm the action.
