My company has two lead sources that are marked as *do not use* if we delete them from the list rather than keep them there what happens to the leads that had those options in the lead source field?

once you delete that option from optionset , the records will have the null value left on that field instead of the value you deleted & other values from optionset will be as it is on the records.

Hi Eric,

LeadSource is the typical attribute used as list instead of record.

If you can, replace it with a new entity ("new_leadsource").

If you want to quick solve your problem, you could use the following code on form load:

function FormOnLoad() { var leadsource = Xrm.Page.getAttribute('leadsourceattribute').getValue() if (leadsource != 100000001 && leadsource != 100000002) { Xrm.Page.getControl('leadsourceattribute').removeOption(100000001); Xrm.Page.getControl('leadsourceattribute').removeOption(100000002); } }

Please let me know.

Hi Eric

What I would do is have a look at your data and see if any records are using the *DNU* attribute - see who owns the record and if they can be changed (or make a business decision to change them) then you can go into the solution and remove the value from the option set list
