[EP-tech] How to remove a sub field from a compound field?
Hi Dennis,
Have you 'grep'ed for the field name in the lib, perl_lib and archive/ARCHIVE_ID/cfg directories to see where it might still be defined?

Hi David,
Thanks for the reply!
It's a custom field on the eprint data object. I already removed the
subfield from all of the mentioned files. Is field information also
stored or cached elsewhere? I saw some references in mf* tables, but
removing those also didn't work.
