Parameter Values
Input Parameters
Parameter Name | Description | Possible Values | Required | Options / Notes |
Lark Base | The connected Lark Base instance to operate on. | A Lark Base object | Yes | Obtain this from a prior Connect Lark Base step; ensure the connection is valid. |
Data table locate mode | How to identify the target data table. | By name, By ID | Yes | Choose By name when names are unique; use By ID for reliability across renames. |
Data table name | Name of the data table to modify. | Text | Conditional | Required when Data table locate mode = By name; must match exactly. |
Data table ID | ID of the data table to modify. | Text | Conditional | Required when Data table locate mode = By ID; copy from Lark Base to avoid typos. |
Field locate mode | How to identify the field to delete. | By name, By ID | Yes | Choose By ID to avoid ambiguity; names must be exact and case-sensitive if applicable. |
Field name | Name of the field to delete. | Text | Conditional | Required when Field locate mode = By name; ensure the field exists before deletion. |

Error Handling
Parameter Name | Description |
Throw error & stop | When an error occurs, the action will stop execution. |
Retry command | The action retries the command if an error occurs. |
Ignore error & continue | The action ignores the error and continues workflow execution. |
Variables Produced
This action doesn't produce any variables.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can pass dynamic values from earlier steps into this command. For example, use variables to supply the data table name or ID returned by a previous lookup, or to select the field ID discovered at runtime. If the UI marks a field with {x}, it indicates that field accepts variables. Combine this with conditional logic in your workflow to delete fields only when certain criteria are met.
Notes
Ensure you have already connected to Lark Base using the Connect Lark Base command before running this action.
Deleting a field is irreversible and removes its data from the table; confirm the target before execution.
Prefer identification By ID for both tables and fields to avoid issues with renamed or duplicate names.
The command will fail if the specified table or field does not exist or if you lack permissions.
If dependencies (e.g., formulas, views, or automations) reference the field, deletion may be blocked by the service.
