    Default Delete Dropdown list

    Hi,
    I have created several drop-down lists via the drop-down editor in the admin panel. I don't need a lot of them any more and would like to clean up the lists, Is it possible delete the drop-down itself and not just the contents?

    If I remember well the lists are created in custom/Extension/application/Ext/Language/name_of_the_file.php

    Actually they are created into custom/include/language/ folder.

    you'll find the language file with drop down array values in custom/includes/language + your_language.lang.php.

    remember that sugar will also create custom tables in the database.

    Could you please be more explicit about the "custom tables" in the DB? Actually I have not found any table (apparently) referencing to language or extension (simply doing "SHOW TABLES")...

    Besides this, simply correcting the language files and doing a "Rebuild Extension" seems to be the "complete" solution.

    Is this true, or really exist tables in the Sugar DB to cancel or to update?

    Thank you,
    Luca

    Look on your sugarcrm for tables with a suffix of _cstm ... these are automatically created by sugar in order to accommodate Studio customisations

    Sure, but these tables contain the module's customized fields, not the "definition" of the dropdown lists.
    If you mean to pay attention on removing the eventual customized fields that use the dropdown lists before removing the last ones, in this case I understand your warning, of course
