{% endhint %}

* Editing the ***Data Type Definition*** is possible only in the following instances:&#x20;

  * **Removal of Existing Fields:** Should a field be removed from the database, the associated field in the Data Type Definition page will be highlighted allowing users to decide whether to include it or remove it entirely.&#x20;
  * **Column Name Changes:** Modifications in column names within the database will be highlighted on the Data Type Definition page for user acknowledgment and necessary action.&#x20;
