Remove Configurable Custom Fields from Projects
Objective
To remove configurable custom fields from one or more projects in Procore.
Background
A configurable fieldset is a group of fields in certain Procore tools that can be set to optional, required, or hidden, depending on the needs of your company. This allows for better control over data entry when users create and edit items in Procore projects. See What are configurable fieldsets and which Procore tools support them?
If configurable custom fields were previously applied to a project, you can choose to remove the custom configurations from that project. After a project has been deselected, the custom fields will return to Procore's default custom fields. If you want to delete a custom field, see Delete Configurable Custom Fields.
Things to Consider
- Required User Permissions:
- 'Admin' on the Company level Admin tool.
- Additional Information:
- After a project has been deselected from the 'Assigned Projects' window, the custom fields will return to Procore's default custom fields.
- Configured custom fields applied to projects will be reflected on both Procore’s web and mobile applications.

Steps
- Navigate to the Company level Admin tool.

- Click the custom field's link in the 'Assigned Projects' column (e.g. 15/30 Projects).
Note: This link indicates the number of projects the custom field is currently applied to, out of the number of projects in the account.

- Click Update.
Note: Any unselected projects will be updated with the Procore Default custom field for that tool or section.
