having a very strange issue where i cant seem to delete a property on a specific document type i have. the issue only happens on this one document type. to fix the issue, i have to go into the DB and manually delete the property from the cmsPropertyType table. else i get an exception anytime i try to delete that property from the document type.
what i dont understand is why i get the exception only when deleting properties on this specific document type. I can add as many as i want just fine, but as soon as i delete one, it errors.
Whats even stranger, is out of the 20 or so content nodes that are using this specifc doucment type, about 6 of them work just fine, i can go edit their content and save and publish ok..but the other 14 error when i click on them (same exception again).
cant delete properties on one document type.

Felix,
Is the property a custom datatype?

hi Ismail,
nope, any datatype i add to it will error when trying to delete
Maybe there is a datatype on the documentType that doesn't exist anymore. What exception do you get?
null pointer exception.

Felix,
Another plan of attack, not sure it will work but,
1. Take a back up of the database
2. Install client tools and delete all version history then try and delete that property
