True or False: Removing a field from a form designer deletes the field from the database table.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Depends on Field Type

Answer: (B)

Removing a field from a form designer changes only what appears on that form, not the underlying data structure. In ServiceNow, every field on a form corresponds to a column in the table (a dictionary field). When you take a field off the form, you’re just altering the form layout, so users won’t see or edit that field on that form anymore. The field still exists in the table, its data remains stored, and it can appear on other forms or be accessed by scripts. To delete the field from the database entirely, you’d have to remove the dictionary entry or drop the column, which is a separate action. So the statement is false.
