I’m not sure if this is desired behavior but I’m posting in case this was a bug and it can be reversed somehow.
I found out an important database had been deleted on accident by a team member because all the entities had empty values in the Notes field. The original notes field was deleted on accident, then the team member created a new field named Notes to fix the problem.
When I discovered the error, I attempted to restore the original field and saw the error because a new field with the same name had been created. I renamed the new field, and then restored the old field. BUT now there is no data and no change history for the original Notes rich text field.
Is all versioning/change history deleted when a rich text field is deleted?
