# Delete Entity Type Field

`DELETE /v2/entity-type-fields/{id}`

Delete an entity type field. By default the field is also removed from descendant types that inherit it; set keep_on_children=true to detach instead. This is an asynchronous schema migration: the response contains schema_migration_id, which you poll via Get Schema Migration to track completion.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required — The ID of the entity type field to delete.

## Query parameters

- `keepOnChildren` boolean — When false (default), the field is also removed from all descendant entity types that inherit it (cascade delete). When true, the field is removed only from this entity type; direct children that inherited it are promoted to "own" it, and deeper descendants continue to inherit from those children.

## Response `200`

Success

- SvstorePublicapiDeleteEntityTypeFieldResponse
  - `data` SvstorePublicapiSchemaMigrationRef — SchemaMigrationRef references the migration produced by a field mutation. Poll its state via GetSchemaMigration.
    - `schemaMigrationId` string — The ID of the schema migration. Empty when the request was a no-op (e.g. an Update that changed nothing).

## Other responses

- `default` — Error
