problems with new created contact fields

**Joemue** · 2011-04-25, 01:15 PM

Hi there,
WIth the help of studio I've changed the layout of the contact module in sugarcrm. I've added some new fields and he basic information of all of my contacts is now located in new created fields.

Now I got some questions:

1) Can I somehow delete the original fields? Not just clear the layout (you simply drop them into the bin) but delete them from the wohle systesm.
2) When I go to the contact module, I can't click anymore on the fields I have created. They are not highlighted and thus I have no access to the detailed view. The only way to get there is via the edited view. I first have to edit an already existing contact and then save it again in order to access to the detailed view. Is there a way to also click on the new created fields and thus to access to the detailed view?
3) As I have created a new field for first_name and last_name, I don't fill anymore the already existing fields that were created for that purpose. That's why in the shortcut of my contact there only appears "Mr" instead of "Mr Smith" or whatever, because the shortcut is still connected to the old fields and gets no information from them. The basic information of all of my contacts is located in new created fields. So I want to make the shortcut get the information from the new fields.

Would be very nice if someone could help me here. Thank you very much and
best wishes from Buenos Aires,
