If I need to update an extension that is already in production, but this update requires removing the field from a table; How will it be done if we can't force a synchronization?

    You need to use the Obsolete property, check this blog

    You cannot remove fields from a table when this field was already published. You will have to set the "ObsoleteState = Pending/Removed" and define an "ObsoleteReason" for those fields. This will essentially remove them from your data structure, since you can't use them anymore (will throw errors or warnings in the code), but you cannot remove those.

    You also would have to make sure that the data upgrade routines clear those fields and move the values to the proper new fields - if you have any.

    The way dynamics nav used to work, D365BC does not. You will have to mark the require field as Obsolete.
