When a custom field used in a list is deleted (Settings > Users > Custom fields), it breaks much of the functionality for that list. The purpose of this story is to improve the error messaging so a more friendly error message can be displayed in the List detail UI.

Scenario:

• Given a custom field is used in a query

  • And the custom field is no longer available

• When the query is executed

• Then an error is returned with the following text

  • Unable to complete action. Query is no longer valid due to an unavailable field(s). Please edit the list query or delete the list.

View List detail record

• If the field is a part of the query then

  • Action menu > If user clicks on any of the following actions: Refresh list, Duplicate list, then show an error toast notification = Unable to complete action. Query is no longer valid due to an unavailable field(s). Please edit the list query or delete the list.

  • Exporting - the list can be exported, but the custom field column is missing (expected results)

  • Allow the user to delete the list.

  • Allow the user to edit the list detail record

Edit List detail record

• If the user edits any of the List details fields When they hit Save button, Then show a Failed toast notification [Unable to complete action. Query is no longer valid due to an unavailable field(s). Please edit the list query or delete the list. ]

  • Allow the user to delete the list

  • Exporting - the list can be exported, but the custom field column is missing (expected results)
