While trying to preform maintenance on our system we might need to delete, update, remove an attribute. In order to accomplish this, we need to know where is it present.
A way to figure this out is as simple as:
- As an administrator log into configuration.
- Enable network logs on your browser.
- Navigate to attributes.
- The log grid will populate with details regarding the attribute page.
- Save all as Har file.
- Open the Har file using notepad or notepad++.
- Search for the attribute name of interest and look for the portion of the report that will look like this:
"attribute:29\",\"name\":\"Genotype\",\"description\":\"\",\"type\":\"attribute\",\"digest\":\"0\",\"owner\":
{},\"descendants\":{\"digest\":\"0\"},\"ancestors\":
[],\"flags\":{\"canWrite\":true,\"isMine\":true,\"isInUse\":true,\"canEditName\":true,\"canEdit\":true},\"fields\":
{},\"fieldDetails\":{}},{\"data\":{\"counts\":{\"total\":0,\"templates\":{\"total\":0,\"system\":0}},\"options\":
[],\"type\":\"choice\",\"externalSource\":{\"enabled\":false,\"id\":\"73b04511-f9eb-469f-8790-0dd2955a2fc7\",\"type\":\"list\",\"params\":
{},\"priorHashCode\":0}},\"eid\":\
This will give you an idea of where the attribute is in use so you can determine steps into modifying or deleting.
