## Tasks
### UserForms EditableFormField Column Clean task ###
This task is used to clear unused columns from EditableFormField
The reason to clear these columns is because having surplus forms can break form saving.
Currently it only supports MySQL and when it is run it queries the EditableFormField class for the valid columns,
it then grabs the columns for the live database it will create a backup of the table and then remove any columns that
are surplus.
To run the task login as Admin and go to to http://yoursite/dev/tasks/UserFormsColumnCleanTask
