When This Matters
This limitation becomes critical when:
Fields are accidentally deleted during module customization
Important historical data is lost due to field deletion
Teams need to recover specific field configurations or data
Available Recovery Options
If a field has been mistakenly deleted, you have two main options:
Option 1: Developer Assistance for Bulk Data Recovery
Contact the development team for potential bulk data recovery.
This option may help restore the original field and its data, but success depends on system backups and timing.
Note: This requires technical intervention and is not guaranteed to be successful.
Option 2: Create a New Custom Field
Create a new custom field with the same configuration as the deleted field, then remap it in your EMR settings if applicable.
Important: This option will not recover the original data. You'll need to manually re-enter or import historical data if needed.
Prevention Tips
Always confirm field deletions before proceeding
Consider hiding fields instead of deleting them if you're unsure
Export important data before making significant module changes
Test field modifications in a staging environment when possible
