Issue/Introduction
In the documentation for 10.7 has the following:
Delete Custom Attributes
Delete a custom attribute that you no longer need.
Follow these steps:
1, In the left corner, click the side panel and and select Attributes.
Existing Attribute Rules appear.
2. Under the Custom Attribute Name column, select the attribute that you want to delete.
3. In the Actions column, click Delete.
The custom attribute is deleted.
Created a custom attribute and then went to delete it since it was not within our naming standards, followed the delete custom attribute and the value was deleted from the impacted nodes but the custom attribute name still exists, showing up in the attribute selection drop downs throughout Team Center.
How do I delete a custom attribute completely including the custom attribute name so it no longer appears in the attribute drop downs?
