UnusedField Rule

The field is not being used.

Remarks

The code contains a Field that is not being used. Although having unused items does not affect code functionality, it can use excess system resources and negatively impact code performance. Additionally, unused items clutter code, making it difficult to read and maintain.

More importantly, unused Fields could indicate deeper logic issues in your application. For instance, the Field could represent important functionality that has not been implemented.

Resolution

You should review all unused items to ensure that they do not represent important functionality that should be implemented. If the Field is unnecessary, you should consider removing it to keep your application running optimally and to keep your code readable and manageable.
