I have been able to break the Global Enterprise template again to the point
that it is still functional, but I cannot make any changes to it.

Process was:
1. Create a task line level custom field within Project server
2. Insert the new custom field into Global Template
3. Delete the custom field
4. Open Global Template for editing
a. A placeholder is still show for the deleted fields, showing <Unavailable>
b. Hiding the fields and saving the template does not work, they just come
back the next time you open a project or the template.
c. Attempting to add a new field to the global template or updating the
<Unavailable> fields to something that exists results in the following errors:

"You cannot modify a table using the TableEdit method in a view that is not
a sheet view. Apply a sheet view, and then try again."

OK or Cancel are message box options. Click OK and I get:

"The view or report cannot be displayed because the table "" on which it is
based has been deleted.

Try the following:

Use a different table for the view. On the View menu, click More Views,
select the view, and then click Edit.

Use a different table in the report. On the Report menu, click Reports,
double-click Custom, and then click Edit.

Create a new table for the view or report."

Anyone have any suggestions other than doing a database restore?

Hey, just an update. Persistence pays off!

Click View, Table, More Tables.

Click on Enterprise Entry, then Edit.

In the Field Name section, highlight the missing fields, then click Delete
row.

Click OK, then save the Enterprise Global.
