dependencies problem

hi, i am new to ruby on rails,i want to remove a field from the edit screen,how to know whether removing that field will effect the other screens.

i want to remove the below code from my controller

config.columns[:status].form_ui = :radio

config.columns[:status].options = {}

config.columns[:status].options[:values] = [[‘Active’, ‘A’], [“Inactive”, ‘I’]]

thanks in advance
