    Cannot delete property from Document type

    Hello, I am trying to delete several properties on document types but the action is timing out and returns the error message. After this, I am getting errors also on the Content section if I click on any node that has the property. The error is:

    Value cannot be null.

    Parameter name: Property metaKeywords(29) on Content Type MeetingList could not be retrieved for Document 3178 ..... etc..

    Is there a way to fix this by running some sql statements on the DB directly?

    Hi Ramon and welcome to our :)

    What version of Umbraco are you seeing this issue on?

    What browser are you using? And is this a live site you're trying to remove some properties on?

    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    /Jan

    Thanks Jan. Your help is much appreciated. This is on a pre-production server we are using to apply new updates to the Production. This is running Umbraco v 4.11.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.4715.27659)

    and is being hosted in Amazon. Thanks to a tip I found on http://www.richardsoeteman.net/2009/10/27/FixObjectReferenceNotSetErrorAfterAddingOrDeletingADocumentProperty.aspx, I was able to programmatically recreate the properties on the document types where it has been deleted. I did not attempt deleting from the code and that is one test pending. But it seems that when I try to delete a property that is used by many nodes, the process times out, even after enabling an ample 20 minutes execution timeout. It doesnot matter what browser is used, but usually is either Chrome or Firefox. I would be happy if you can share any tip you might know to get this done or find out if it has to do with something wrong on my particular Umbraco installation environment.. etc.. or is it just some kind of known issues attached to deleting properties from sites with lots of nodes. Another thing I have been looking at, was that we were not limiting the versioning, so maybe that also plays a part on the slowness. I would appreciate all you can help with as we are all very excited in our team using Umbraco and has allowed us to work really fast on project deliveries.
