Answers.Body: <p>I've had something similar when a custom field wasn't fully created for some reason.</p>
  <p>The <code>resource_2_67</code> field of <code>civicrm_value_reporting_doc_10</code> does not exist but Civi is expecting it to be there because of an inconsistency with other data.   You should be able to clear that with:</p>
  <p><code>DELETE FROM civicrm_custom_field WHERE column_name = 'resource_2_67'</code></p>
  <p>Take a backup first before doing any direct SQL changes!</p>

Answers.Text: I wound up having to delete quite a few custom fields. I still have no idea what went wrong. I worked through one at a time. I would check the log for the error. Delete that field as suggested and then repeat until there were no errors.

Body: <p>Error: &quot;Unknown column 'a_to_civicrm_value_reporting_doc_10.resource_2_67' in 'field list'&quot;</p>
  <p>This is a follow-up question to one that started over <a href="https://civicrm.stackexchange.com/questions/42518/process-membership-scheduled-job-error">here</a>. From that thread, I am clear that this is referring to a custom field that was created for CiviCase.</p>
  <p>The error is popping up and causing database update problems in all sorts of places from contribution pages to membership update jobs.</p>
  <p>Here is the CiviCRM log output for a failure on a contribution page:</p>

  <p>I would be fine to even destroy the offending field (or even related ones in CiviCase), but I need the main Contacts, Membership, Mailings and Contributions to work properly and allow me to move ahead.</p>
  <p>How can resolve this 'unknown column' error and get back to a good place again?</p>

Title: Resolving db error for unknown column in 'field list'"
ThreadText: # Resolving db error for unknown column in 'field list'"
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2022-10-21)
  
  Error: "Unknown column 'a_to_civicrm_value_reporting_doc_10.resource_2_67' in 'field list'"
  This is a follow-up question to one that started over here. From that thread, I am clear that this is referring to a custom field that was created for CiviCase.
  The error is popping up and causing database update problems in all sorts of places from contribution pages to membership update jobs.
  Here is the CiviCRM log output for a failure on a contribution page:

  Some tasks just won't complete, others are only partial. I attempted to simply delete the offending field, but that failed with an error that says the column doesn't exist. Here's the most relevant line from the log after the failed attempt:
  ALTER TABLE civicrm_value_reporting_doc_10 DROP COLUMN `resource_2_67`, DROP FOREIGN KEY FK_civicrm_value_reporting_doc_10_resource_2_67 [nativecode=1091 ** Can't DROP COLUMN `resource_2_67`; check that it exists]"
  
  In the previous thread it was suggested that ACLs might be an issue. There are none set on that field, but I disabled the only ACL on the system and tried again without success.
  I am at a loss as to how to resolve this situation, but it is becoming a serious issue. It likely requires some serious CiviCRM database foo, but I'm not sure what to do.
  I'm currently running 5.52.2 on WordPress. I'm more than willing to upgrade to the latest, but it seems unlikely to resolve anything and I'm worried that just pushing further down that trail will make things worse until I resolve this.
  I would be fine to even destroy the offending field (or even related ones in CiviCase), but I need the main Contacts, Membership, Mailings and Contributions to work properly and allow me to move ahead.
  How can resolve this 'unknown column' error and get back to a good place again?

  I've had something similar when a custom field wasn't fully created for some reason.
  
  The `resource_2_67` field of `civicrm_value_reporting_doc_10` does not exist but Civi is expecting it to be there because of an inconsistency with other data. You should be able to clear that with:
  
  `DELETE FROM civicrm_custom_field WHERE column_name = 'resource_2_67'`
  
  Take a backup first before doing any direct SQL changes!

  > **username_0**: I wound up having to delete quite a few custom fields. I still have no idea what went wrong. I worked through one at a time. I would check the log for the error. Delete that field as suggested and then repeat until there were no errors.
