What is the best way of making an Attribute inactive?
I want old attributes to remain on accounts and I'd like to be able to pull that information through list builder etc, I just want to make sure that they can't continue to be added to accounts. I've looked in the system documentation but inactivating isn't mentioned.
I could mess about in Test and find out for myself but I wondered if anyone knew and could save me the time!
Thanks, Suzanne.
What was the name of this attribute?

Absolutely! We've got a few of those.
Basically, you would set it up in T_KEYWORD like any regular old attribute except don't fill out anything for the columns that start with Ref. So nothing in Ref Tbl, Ref Idcol, Ref Desccol, Ref Where, or Ref Sort.
For example, we created one to track Disability type with a free text field and in T_KEYWORD this is how it looks:
Description: Disability Data Type: String Edit Mask: Alphanumeric Detail Tbl: TX_CUST_KEYWORD Detail Col: !.key_value Ref Tbl: (blank) Ref Idcol: (blank) Ref Desccol: (blank) Ref Where: (blank) Ref Sort: (blank) Category: Constituent Use For List: Attributes Multiple Value: unchecked etc... with pretty much everything else blank.
There's also great info about that table if you find the help documentation for your Tess version on T_KEYWORD.
Hope that helps!

Hello Tessiturians!
Is it possible to create an attribute where value is NOT defined by a pull-down list - just a text entry.
Thank you so much,
