How Restoring Deleted Custom Fields Recovers All Saved Member Values
Deleting a custom field like 'Bus Route' often permanently wipes out route assignments for 400 students across the entire campus.
Accidental field deletion erases hundreds of student records
When an administrator accidentally removes a custom field, re-surveying parents and re-entering hundreds of student details takes weeks.
Restore deleted custom fields with 100% data recovery
Open the Recycle Bin and filter items by 'Custom Fields'.
Locate the deleted attribute (e.g., Student Bus Route Number).
Click Restore to reinstate the field definition in your directory.
Notice how all previously populated values return instantly to all student profiles.
Put it into practice
Example: Recovering 400 student bus route assignments
An admin accidentally removes the 'Bus Route' field, restores it from the bin five minutes later, and recovers route numbers across all 400 student profiles.
Worth checking first
- Restored fields return with all saved member values completely intact.
- Zero re-entry or spreadsheet re-uploading required.
