Hiding choice fields

I need to hide some choice fields where salespeople have left. I obviously don't want to delete the information as it is still relevant and may be needed in the future, but I don't want a long drop down list of options, many of which are no longer valid.

    Hi Carole - makes sense not to delete the old data and at the moment ther is no delete the option and keep the ref in the old data.
    So in my case I got around this in two ways

    A) Rename each option no longer reuired to "Dead' or 'Archive -  etc the option - hmm again not ideal 

    B) Set up another new options dropdown list ! Then have it point to the other old drop down (make this one invisible) upon trigger after update update with a script!

    Just bear in mind if you do this then your new list will be ordered 1,2,3,4 etc and your old list  will have redundand gaps in it..

    aian this is far from perfect but it got me a new list for now!!!

     

    ie

    new list

    1 yellow 

    2 blue

    3 green

    4 black

     

    old list

    1 yellow

    2 cyan (now redundant)

    3 blue

    4 grey

    5 green

    etc

    ideally in the futre Ninox will allow drop dons to be dynaic and we can populate then from another field
