Editing or Deleting a Custom Attribute
- Click System Settings, click User Setup, and then click Custom Attributes.
- In the Custom Attributes list, click anywhere in an existing attribute's row.
- Do one of the following:
- Make desired changes to the attribute, and then click Save.
Important: Not all changes are allowable. For example, you cannot change the attribute type from Text to Whole Number if a list of assignable values already exists and any of the values contain anything except integers. You will also not be allowed to delete a value from the Assignable Values list if it is currently assigned to one or more users or groups. If a change is not allowable, you will see an error message when you click Save.
- To delete this custom attribute and remove all of its assignments to users, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm.
Important:
- Deleting a custom attribute is an irreversible action (deleted attributes are NOT placed in the Archive).
- The deletion will fail if the custom attribute is currently assigned to any user group. Remove the group assignments and then try to delete the attribute again.
