How to delete a field group?

For those who manage field groups in AEP, are you able to delete field groups in the UI? I want to delete a field group that I've verified is not being used in any schema at all.

There's a DELETE endpoint for field groups in the API (https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-platform/xdm/api/field-groups.html?lang=en#delete), so I thought there'd be a corresponding ability in the AEP UI to delete field groups.

In the UI, I've found that in each individual field, there is a "Remove" button (though clicking that results in a JavaScript error for me).

@yuhuisg I don't see one. AEP is an API first solution, so you will find many things you can do with the API that you can't in the UI.  I'd recommend getting comfortable with it, as you will be happier in the long run.

Hope that helps

Hi @yuhuisg 

 

Agree with @danny-miller 

Here's the specific API reference to remove a Field group from your AEP instance: https://developer.adobe.com/experience-platform-apis/references/schema-registry/#operation/removeFieldGroup 

 

Hope it helps!
