Can I change the name of a restored/undeleted field without effecting the data?

I undeleted a custome field, and now it has the "_del" ending to the previous field name. The field label is "Deal Team Point Person", but the field name is "Deal_Team_Point_Person_del". A user is trying to use an Excel plug-in to upload data to the restored field, but that data is loading to a hidden field with the field name "Deal_Team_Point_Person_c". We don't want to use the hidden field at all. That one was a mistake...wrong field type. There is data in the "Deal_Team_Point_Person_del" field that we need to keep. Manual data entry in this field is sticking, but not through the plug-in. 

 

Suggestions?

    Hi Tiffany, 

     

    No, your data will safe, its not effecting data. 

     

    I have tried this in my Dev org. What I have done - 

     

    Exist Field Name  : Input_Data              API Name : Input_Data__c

     

    Data Input :   test

     

    Delete this Field & Undelete this field then -

     

    Field Name : Input_Data_del                  API Name : nput_Data_del__c

     

    undelete Data    : test

     

    Then changed the field Input_Data_del  to Input_Data

     

    After change the name - 

     

    Field Name :  Input_Data                      API Name : Input_Data__c

     

    Data Remain  :  test

     

    Thanks,

     

    -Raj
