How Institutions Can Restore Deleted Profile Fields and Saved Values
Accidentally deleting a custom field on standard platforms wipes out months of entered roll numbers across hundreds of profiles with no recovery.
Accidental field deletion destroys campus-wide metadata
When an administrator accidentally deletes the 'Admission Number' field, having all 500 student registration numbers instantly erased is catastrophic.
Restore deleted custom fields and all underlying data within 15 days
Navigate to the Recycle Bin in your institution management console.
Filter items by 'Custom Fields' to locate the deleted attribute.
Inspect the countdown badge showing the days remaining in the recovery window.
Click Restore to reinstate the field and restore all saved values across all profiles.
Put it into practice
Example: Restoring an accidentally deleted bus route field
An admin accidentally removes the 'Bus Route' field; she restores it from the Recycle Bin, instantly recovering route assignments for all 400 students.
Worth checking first
- Restored fields return with 100% of their previously saved values intact.
- Items remain restorable for 15 days from the exact deletion timestamp.
