Explanation
When an administrator deletes a custom field, Salesforce moves it to the deleted fields list for 15 days, during which time it can be undeleted or erased permanently. If the administrator undeletes the field within 15 days, most of its properties and data are restored, except for its field history data, which remains deleted and cannot be recovered.

Explanation
To require users to follow the status values as they are on the path and prevent them from reverting back toprevious status values, the administrator should use validation rules that check if the status field value is changed from one value to another value that is not allowed by business logic. For example, if status values are New > In Progress > Closed, thena validation rule can check if status is changed from Closed to In Progress or New, and show an error message if true. Predefined Field Values, Global Value Picklists, and Dependent Picklists are not able to enforce status progression or prevent status reversion.
