Summary	0009036: Translation fault / translation confusion (confirm_custom_field_unlinking)
Description	Hi, I removed a customer field from one of our projects. I got a bit confused, because it seems that the text displayed as i will remove the field is wrong. `english: $s_confirm_custom_field_unlinking = 'Are you sure you want to remove (unlink) this custom field from the project and delete all associated values?'; german: $s_confirm_custom_field_unlinking = 'Sind Sie sicher, dass Sie dieses benutzerdefinierte Feld aus dem Projekt entfernen und alle enthaltenen Werte löschen wollen?';` I think both are not correct. Because it will not delete all associeated values. The only think it does is to not show the customer field on the website. If I put the field back to the project, everything is fine, values are still there. So "delete all associated" is in my opinon the wrong term. Never shown on website is what it does. Regards Marc
Steps To Reproduce	Go to customer field page, select a customer field which is used in one ore more projects, and remove it from one project. There you will see the message. Or go to language files and have a look for: d delete all associated confirm_custom_field_unlinking.
Tags	No tags attached.

siebrand 2009-03-30 19:48 reporter ~0021322	Confirmed on git trunk. Unlinking custom fields from projects does not destroy any values. Deleting the custom field altogether does. Should look into using different messages here to avoid confusion and doubt.
