    To delete an existing attribute on factory schemas follow the steps outlined here

    • Extend the scehma
    • Define the same attribute again in this extended schema (name must match) and then define _operation="delete"
    • Save the schema and update database structure.

    <attribute name="registrationToken" _operation="delete"/>

    Should you do this?

    I would not recommend it as you never know what can break in the system when deletion of an attribute happens.

    There are hundreds of fields that are not used most of the time on Adobe Campaign and will probably never get populated, just ignore them. You may end up breaking some kind of relationship between tables or get errors on the console as these fields are referenced by input forms and other features.

    Why do you need to delete it? this is required for push notifications to work.

    I support Vipuls approach.

    @OP what are you trying to achieve by deleting OOTB attributes?
