Fields remain after removing and synchronizing

Scriptcase 8 Discussion

This is a form, not a grid. I removed about 20 fields from my mysql database and then synchronized the table.
The fields remain in the SQL statement, in the Field Positioning in the left column, and in Edit Fields under “Fields not Shown”.

Any way to fix this?
Thanks.

Sometimes when you’re stuck with such unexplainable behavior in SC, you might just want to create another fresh app based on the same table and move all your code over. Then delete the problematic one when the new one works. Its easier when all you have to do is copy stuff across in the events but tedious configuring the fields one at a time.

I’m getting to that point and you are exactly right. I have a lot of code in events and moving that to a new app is no problem. But configuring all the fields over again!!! Not looking forward to that.

Maybe it helps if you empty the tmp dir and delete the form folder under /app/yourproject/ assuming you work on linux. On windows I don’t know the paths.

Thanks Joe. Yes, I did delete that folder, and the SC TMP folder, and my browser cache and temp files, a temp folder in the PHP folder; stopped and started Apache…and yet the fields remain…very frustrating.
