Any way to remove elements, such as characters and locations, from autofill/dropdown lists (the document at large, really) in Final Draft? I've changed the names of a few of them and won't be using them again, but they still show up when writing new slugs or dialogue, so obviously they're still stored in the document somewhere. I suppose one solution would be to disable autofill entirely (another thing I don't know how to do -- tell me just in case?), but I find the function extremely useful at this point and can't imagine not using it down the road. Not the worst problem to have, I suppose, but of course who's to say how many elements I might change in this or future scripts? I imagine it could get to be extremely irritating having the old ones pile up, especially where slugs are concerned.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Go to Document > SmartType > Characters;
Select the character name you want to remove and click Delete;
Click OK to close the window.

Nailed it! Thanks so much! Also, SmartType, not autofill, it seems. More FD literate by the day.

You're welcome! It was a thing that drove me crazy for a while until I figured it out!
