True or False: Removing a field from the form designer deletes it from the database.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depends on configuration
• D. Cannot be determined

Answer: (B)

Removing a field from the form design changes what users see and interact with, not the data model itself. Fields live in the table’s dictionary, which defines the actual database column and its data. The form designer simply controls which fields are displayed on that form and in what order. So taking a field off a form hides it for that UI, but the data still exists in the database. If you want to completely remove the field and its data, you’d need to delete or deactivate the corresponding dictionary entry (the table column), which is a schema change, not just a UI change. For example, removing a field from an incident form hides it from that form, but the column and its data remain available on other forms or through the table/API.
