I use the Content Validator to replace fields and views, but in this case the field is no longer available in our model and needs to be removed altogether. There is no new field to replace the old field with. Is there a way to delete a field that is erroring using the Content Validator?

Hi Eric!
Unfortunately, the Content Validator doesn’t currently support removing a field without a replacement, both the UI and the API require a “replace with” value when using the find-and-replace flow.
The best workaround right now is to use the Content Validator to locate all broken content with that erroring field, then manually navigate to each affected document and remove it. Not the most scalable solution if it’s used in a lot of places, but it’s the most reliable path today.
I’ve also noted this as a gap, a native “remove field” option in the Content Validator is a reasonable feature request and I’ll make sure it gets logged. Let me know if you have any questions!
