Hello,  
  
just reporting what I believe it could be a small bug (or, I’m missing something)  
  
I created a new form with a checkbox field with 4 options in it.Then I decided to change the checkbox for a dropdown list. Now I am unable to delete the checkbox field from the field list. I also tried deleting the options first from the field edit dialogue, but no chance…  
  
Please have a look into it.  
  
Thank you

Hi Fbugalla

I can confirm this is definitely a bug. Removing the field values doesn’t work at all - even for checkboxes that haven’t been converted dropdowns.
