So this works across the board, regardless of project as fields are global. That's good to know, Thanks William.

I believe you can delete Work Item Types, not sure about individual fields though.

Your only option would be to create a new field and use the new field instead (keeping the old field definition as well).

But, because of the length limitation of string fields I wanted to change it to HTML (so that I can have rich text as well). But when I try to change the field type on the template I am getting the 'Error: TF26038: Field type for <field1> does not match the existing type. It was String, but now is HTML' error. I tried to add another HTML field (field2) and tried to set the DEFAULT as the field1's value. But I get 'TF26048: The rule 'DEFAULT' for '<field2>' refers to '<field1>', which is a different field type. Change the field type or field reference so that the field referred to is the same type and try again. I tried to delete the field1 using 'witfields.exe' so I can upload the updated template but I get '<field1> cannot be deleted - It is used by the following project(s): .........' Is there any ways around this problem? Thank you.
