Deleting a custom field will break saved filters

XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      Currently, deleting a custom field will break any saved filters that reference the field. It would be nice to give some warning of this.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a saved filter that references an existing custom field by name e.g
        "Custom Field to delete" = A

        Check to see that this filter returns issues successfully:

      1. Delete the custom field referenced in the saved filter
      2. Go back to the filter in step 1 and observe that it is now broken with the error "Field 'Custom Field to Delete[Checkboxes ' does not exist or you do not have permission to view it":

      Expected Results

      Any breaking changes resulting from deleting a custom field should be flagged in the UI.

      Actual Results

      There is no indication that deleting a custom field could result in broken filters.

      Workaround

      You can restore a deleted custom field from Trash for up to 60 days after its deletion.
