If you remove a field from the form using the Form Designer, does it get removed from the Database?

When you remove a field from the form using the Form Designer in ServiceNow, it does not get removed from the database. Instead, the field becomes hidden from view within the form, and the underlying data in the database remains intact. This allows the data stored in that field to be preserved and potentially used again or made visible in the future without any risk of data loss.

This behavior allows developers to adapt forms based on user requirements or interface design without permanently altering the schema of the database. It provides flexibility in managing the user experience while ensuring that data integrity is maintained within the ServiceNow platform.

Understanding this distinction is crucial for effective data management and ensuring that important information is not inadvertently deleted when only the user interface needs to be adjusted.
