I use various templates for saving source information.
I wanted to get rid of a field I created in one template that was no longer needed.
I deleted the field, expecting all sources and templates using that field to have the field and corresponding data removed. What happened was that the field was deleted and removed from all the source records OK, but in the Data column against each source record in the Sources view, the value from the deleted field still displayed!
I tried changing the template type of the source record to another and changing it back again, but the old deleted field data still displayed in the column.
I cleared the Reunion cache, and restarted Reunion, but that did nothing.
The only way I could cleanse the Data column was to add back a new field with the same name as the deleted one, then change the source to another template type and back again, then remove the new field from the source record. The data column then updated and the old data was cleared.
Looks like a bug to me.
Did I do something wrong?
I've attached screenshot of my work-in-progress fixing the problem.
Records 375 and 763 have been fixed, the rest all have "Probate" as the third field in the source despite the fact that that field has been deleted.
