Unable to delete custom field "because it is referred to by other custom fields"
I'm attempting to remove an old, unused custom checkbox on our Customer records.
NetSuite responds with "This custom field cannot be deleted because it is referred to by other custom fields". I unchecked the Applies To: Customer option on the custom entity field edit screen. The field no longer appears on the Customer record on the subtab.
Is there any elegant way to determine what dependency it's referring to? Digging through every custom field is going to take a VERY long time.
