Delete or Deactivate Lookup Filters

Deleting a lookup filter permanently removes it. You can’t recover deleted lookup filters.

Required Editions

Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: All Editions except for Database.com.
User Permissions Needed
To define lookup filters: Customize Application
  1. From the managements settings for the relationship field’s object, go to Fields.
  2. Scroll to the Custom Fields & Relationships related list.
  3. Click the name of the field containing the lookup filter.
  4. Click Edit.
  5. To deactivate the lookup filter, deselect Enable this filter, then save your changes.
    Deactivating a lookup filter preserves the lookup filter configuration but:
    • Prevents it from applying to the relationship field
    • Prevents it from impacting the cross-object references limit
    • Removes it as a dependency for fields referenced in the lookup filter criteria
  6. To delete the lookup filter, click Clear Filter Criteria, then save your changes.
