How to Access Data From a Deleted Registration Question Option in Dryfta

Last updated Jul 19, 2026

Question

If a registration question option (e.g., a checkbox option) has been deleted from a form in Dryfta, how can an admin access the data previously collected for that deleted option?

Answer

In Dryfta, if a registration question option is deleted from a form, that option and its responses will no longer appear in report filters or CSV export options. However, the data from attendees who selected that option still exists in the database but cannot be included in new reports because the field option has been removed from the form structure. Unfortunately, there is no way to restore a deleted field or its options once deleted. Therefore, to access data for a deleted registration question option, you should consider these points:

1. The data remains stored but inaccessible through standard reporting tools.
2. To retrieve this data, you may need to contact Dryfta support for potential backend data extraction.
3. To prevent loss of reporting capability in future, carefully consider deleting form fields or options; instead, consider disabling or hiding options if you wish to keep historical reporting intact.

In summary, once a registration question option is deleted, the standard reporting tools in Dryfta cannot access its data, and recovery is unlikely without backend assistance.
