Problem/Motivation

There are a bunch of fields that are required for the system to function. Let's call them "critical fields".

Steps to reproduce

One example:

  1. Delete the "Preferred name" field from the Person Contact Type
  2. Submit a Person add/edit form

Expected: Form submits successfully
Actual: White screen error

Proposed resolution

Allow deletion of critical fields via the UI

Remaining tasks

  • Identify critical fields
  • Implement

User interface changes

API changes

Data model changes

I think we should handle the removal of these fields elegantly. I think site builders should be granted as much freedom as possible.

The project really only needs the base field name to work. Full Name, Aliases, and Preferred name are only used for the User's Display name, and the entity name field.

If we set `persist_with_no_fields: true` site builders can delete the field and still re-add it later.

I agree.

I'm new to `persist_with_no_fields`. Would it cause artifacts to remain after uninstalling CRM?

It means the field is available to add to a contact even if it is deleted from the person bundle.
