Edit custom field drop down value

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Ramson 45

Hi Experts,

I added a new value to a custom field drop down - There was a typo in this value and I backed out .i.e. not even saved or applied change. However, when I refreshed page this new value was there and I cannot edit it or anything...

Should the system be committing changes without user  effortfully saving or applying changes? Is there any way of editing this value at all? I can see when you hover on field there is a pencil for edit but everything is greyed out as below where I need to take out the "1."

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

    You can delete the custom field and recreate it again with new values.

    Thanks Parag.

    I don't think it's possible to delete just that value in drop down else it's warning I am about to delete the actual custom field.

    Thanks for sharing page on voting for this idea - will certainly do so as it's crazy you can't update or delete that value.

    Thanks

    Hi Ramson,

    You have to delete and recreate it again.
