I have created a custom metadata field in the registry manager, I am an administrator, however there is no option to remove the field. How can I do this? I am using version 3.0 of the module.
What is the "Regsitry Manager"? I have never heard of such a feature in Alfresco out-of-the-box and am not aware of an addon by that name. If you are asking about some third party module, you should always include a link to the module's project page / vendor. It is also assumed that you have already asked the developer / vendor of this module for help in whatever forum / support system they provide (e.g. GItHub issues).
Sorry Axel, how I use translator ended up getting the wrong word.
I meant Alfresco RM - Record Manager.
I created a custom metadata and marked it as mandatory only after I saw that it was not possible to delete or remove the requirement. I would like to check if there is any way to remove these custom fields as they are impacting on the use of the system.
Thank you!
I see that you asked this question 3 1/2 years ago and no one answered it. I'm having this exact same problem in Alfresco Content Services 7.2 with Alfresco Governance Services 7.2.
I created custom metadata for Records named "Record Owner" and it was mandatory. Now we have decided that not only do we not want it to be a system enforced field, we do not want to use it at all. Alfresco documentation says once you create custom metadata, you can't delete it.
But there has to be a way to either remove or disable this. If there isn't, it seems to me there should be.
Ask for and offer help to other Alfresco Content Services Users and members of the Alfresco team.
