 * Hi there, I accidentally deleted my email field whilst attempting to make a set
   of fields private. I now am not sure how to re-add it? could anyone assist. I
   tried adding “Email” as a link but it’s telling me ‘The field could not be added’.
 * Cheers!

 * It should be possible to add back your email field, just give it the same name
   as before. The data column is normally not deleted when a field is deleted, so
   your data should still be there when the field is re-added.
 * Don’t try to use a “link” field for the email, it must be a regular text line
   field.
