Release Date 29 January
Previously when a custom field was deleted, automated rules using that custom field would break without the rule's owner knowing. This enhancement is meant to remedy that by providing more communication and awareness throughout the system concerning deleted custom fields.
Deleting Custom Fields
When deleting a custom field not associated with an automated rule, a modal will appear, verifying the deletion.
When deleting a custom field associated with an automated rule, the modal's wording will state that the associated rule will become disabled, and thus will need some attention.
New Status
A new status has been added to the list of rules, Disabled.
Adjusting Affected Rules
When selecting the disabled rules wrench icon, you will then be brought into the rule edit page, and be presented with a clarification of what is needed to be done to proceed. The custom field must either be deleted or a new one added to be able to once again activate the rule.
Additional Communication Added
Throughout communication has been added that indicates that attention is needed due to a deleted custom field.
Rules throughout will be deactivated with details until the custom field has been either replaced or deleted from the rule, like this profile shown here.
Email Notification
An email will be sent to all rule owners, letting them know of any affected rules with direct links to resolve the issues.
History
A record will be kept within the rule's history. View the history by selecting its wrench icon.
