  3. Click Fields to open the Fields area.

Remove a custom field without losing data that users have entered

CAUTION
Removing a custom field from a custom form that has over 500 fields and widgets cannot be undone. If you remove the field, you can’t re-add it until the form has fewer than 500 fields and widgets.
  1. Determine which custom fields you want to remove from the original custom form, but do not remove them at this point.

  2. Create a new custom form:

    1. Add the custom fields to the new form that you want to remove from the original custom form.

      For information, see the section Add new or existing fields to your custom form in Create a custom form.

    2. Save the new custom form.

  3. Limit access to the custom form to only users with administrative access, as described in Share a custom form.

  4. Apply the new custom form to the objects where the original custom form is already applied, as described in Add a custom form to an object.

    Applying the new custom form to these objects ensures that historical reporting data is not affected.

  5. Modify the original custom form and remove the custom fields that you added to the new form (in Step 2).

    The fields that you removed from the original custom form are now available only on the new custom form that you created. Users are able to see the custom form on the object, but users without administrative access are not able to modify the custom form.
