Posted on by svignesh 347

I want to remove the name field from the form, but it is not allowing me to delete it from the form as well as the fields even after I have made it optional. Is there a way to remove the owner and name fields from the form? as well the fields

The entity I have just has some fields which are options sets and Name is not required to be filled in the form at all

    Hello,

    Regarding other fields that you marked as optional - try to close form editor, publish entity where you changed level of fields and open it back. I believe you will be allowed to remove fields that you marked as optional.

    Regarding owner easiest way - just make that field hidden. If you anyway want to remove field from form - export solution, unarchive it, open customizations.xml and remove owner field from form layout, save it, put it back to archive and import it back to CRM.

    Hi,

    Name is primary field and assuming your entity is user or team owned so you can't delete these fields, why don't you simply setup business rule to set default value in name fields and hide them ??

    Thanks

    Hi Vicky..

    If you dont require the Name field ... just hide it.. by unchecking its visibility...
