Removing a Field from the Library (RESOLVED)

(1/3) > >>

Skeezix:
I have a field named "Status" that I wanted to change to "Burn Status". So I created a new field (Burn Status) and then use the  library tool to copy the field contents from Status to Burn Status. So far, so good. Now I cannot find a way to eliminate the old field "Status". All I can do is hide it.

How can I remove the field "Status" from my library?

RoderickGI:
[Status] doesn't appear to be a standard Library field, so it must be a custom field you have added.

In that case, why didn't you just renamed the [Status] field to [Burn Status]?

You could just rename the [Status] field to [Burn Status] now, and then delete the new [Burn Status] field. When a Custom field is highlighted the "Delete Field" may look greyed out, but when you hover over it should become active and work.

Skeezix:
I read your answer and while it did not provide a fix, it did lead me to one.

I clicked Library Options > Manage Library Fields. I could see the Status field but it was not clickable so I clicked various options in the box at the top left of the Manage Library Fields window.

When I clicked "Show only fields saved in tags" I could see the unwanted Status field and when I selected that, then the Delete Field button became active. I clicked it and now I have no more Status field. I made the image below after I did this and that's why the Status field is not present:



So, I thank you for getting me into the right area!

RoderickGI:
Actually, you've helped me as well as you have reminded me of that filter feature, and it will help with something else I am working on.

So thank you.  :D

Skeezix:
It's been about 8 hours since I "resolved" my problem and I exited MC. Now when I start MC I see the Status field has reappeared in my view. It is empty, so I just hid it again. I guess I'll have to live with it.

If anyone else has another suggestion I would appreciate hearing it.
