Hi,

I want to remove some required field from form.
My security roll is system administrator.

It was occurred in following case;

Case 1;
①I imported products data with Excel template. This file contained "Standard Cost" which is required field.
②In the "Create New" screen, I added "cost" field with Form Editor and published。
③I tried to remove "cost" field again from the form, but error occured.

Case 2;
①I Opened the Form Editor from the "Create Rollup Field" screen.
②Checked out the "Only show unused relationships" checkbox and added "Source Record Type" to the form and published.

(Now, there are 2 same item in the field.)

③I opened the Form Editor again and tried to remove one of the "Source Record Type", but error occurred.

Hi,

go to the field properties and make it "optional" (which you can do unless it's "system required"). Save and publish, then back to the form.. you should be able to remove the field.

Hi,

As suggested by Alex, you could change the required level of the field from Business Required to Optional. Follow the steps below.

Go to Settings --> Customizations.

Click Customize the System.

Under Components, expand Entities, and then expand the entity you want.

Click Fields.

Select the field you want to remove from the form (which is Business Required)

Change the Field Requirement from Business Required to Optional.

Click on Save and Close.

Go to the Default Solution and click on Publish All Customizations.

Now you will be able to remove that field from the form editor.

Hope this helps.
