How to remove multiple fields from multiple Custom Report Types in few clicks?

  Let's ask few questions to ourself about Salesforce Report Types:

1. Can we add multiple custom fields in multiple Report Types in single click?

2. Can we update fields of multiple Report Types at the same time?

3. Can we remove multiple fields from multiple Report Types in single click?

Answer is BIG NO. Salesforce standard Report Types doesn't provide these bulk features. In case, if an admin has to perform these actions, then admin would have to open each and every Report Types one by one and perform the required action.

These type of work requests would take much more effort and time, but with our Salesforce Appexchange application Bulk Object Field Creator (BOFC), admin can update multiple Report Types in few clicks.

Benefits of using BOFC Application to Remove Custom Fields from Report Types
  1. Supports the removal from multiple Report Types in single click
  2. Support mass removal of custom fields from multiple Report Types
  3. Supports Report Types  update for both standard and custom objects
  4. Simple Point & Click UI only.

Few Simple Steps to remove multiple fields from Custom Report Types

1. Open the BOFC Home > Click "Add / Remove Report Types"



2. It will open below screen to manage report types. Select the type of action as "Remove" option as highlighted in radio button.

3. Select the Object from the dropdown and click "Fetch Field(s)" button to fetch all the existing fields of selected object. It will also fetch the list of the custom reports types related to selected object.


4. Select the single or multiple fields which needs to be added to selected custom report types. 


5. Once the "Remove Fields to Report Type" buttons is clicked, it will update the status against each selected Report Types
