Trying to delete a transaction referenced by a custom record. The custom field does allow deletion yet when deleting NetSuite gives the error about referred record. Even changing the custom field to text (so there is no relation at all) doesn't help. It was functioning a couple hours before but it seems like some corruption occurred

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it seems like you're encountering an issue where NetSuite is not allowing you to delete a custom field due to dependent records, even though you've ensured there are no dependent records. This can sometimes occur due to backend data that isn't referenced in these dependencies, such as in System Notes or Audit Trail. Here are a few steps you can try: 1. Change the Field Type: Changing the field type of the custom field can sometimes delete all previous data that the field stored. For example, you could try changing it to a text field. You will get a warning saying “Changing this custom field type will delete all data in existing records. Are you sure you want to do this?”. 2. Use the Field in a Transaction or Record: After changing the field type, try using the field in a transaction or record. This might help to clear any hidden dependencies. 3. Perform a Mass Update: If the above steps don't work, you could try doing a mass update to records with that field and uncheck all of them. Then you might be able to delete it. Remember, these steps are based on previous conversations and might not work in all cases. If the issue persists, you might need to investigate further into the specific setup of your NetSuite environment. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
