Release Notes

Delete options from Dropdown, Multi-select, Radio, and Checkbox fields in Custom Objects and Companies

companiescustom-fields

You can now delete options from Dropdown, Multi-select, Radio, and Checkbox fields for Custom Objects and Companies, bringing the same capability already available for Contact and Opportunity fields.

If an option is already in use, existing records keep the value while the option is removed from future selection. Before deleting, you can see how many records use the option, and existing filters, Smart Lists, and workflows continue to work.

How to delete an option

  1. Go to Settings > Custom Fields.

  2. Open a Custom Object or Company field.

  3. Delete the option.

  4. Review the affected-record count, if shown.

  5. Confirm the deletion.

Used options remain visible on existing records, and deleted options can no longer be selected for new records, filters, or workflow conditions. This lets you clean up outdated or incorrect field options without breaking historical data or existing automation.
