Inactive person attributes show up in report fields.

1

If I make an attribute inactive shouldn't it NOT show up on the list of report fields to add? I have several attributes that came over from our previous database that are not necessary (and not updated) because Rock had a preferable attribute. The inactive attributes no longer show up in data view criteria, but when i create a report and add fields they are still listed as available fields to add. As long as I'm the one creating the reports it's not a problem because I know that these fields are inactive and not up-to-date, but as I train staff on data views and reports I don't want them using these fields. Does this sound like a but or is there something I'm doing wrong?

    If you're logged in with RSR-Rock Administration permissions, you're probably seeing just about everything, everywhere.  I would look at assessing the view rights on those attributes, and denying view permission to any users who aren't RSR-Rock Administrators, if the attributes aren't used anymore during the course of work.

    The admins would likely still see them in the report fields, but users without appropriate permissions shouldn't, so they'll get a less cluttered interface.
