Department titles with 'in use' option

Currently once a department name has been used you can't delete it. If we change a department name or remove it from the company we are left with an ever increasing list and also the potential for the wrong department to be used. If we could simple assign it as not in use that would prevent the issue and allow only active departments to be visible

Describe the Challenge Avoid incorrect listing of departments and give clarity to the current structure.

    In terms of clarity and keeping things tidy and streamlined being able to hide/archive would be very helpful yet still allowing the running of queries to see historic data.

    This is a great idea and would also assist us as we have the same issue. Even if a 'not in use' / archive option cannot be created, a 'hide' option could be an alternative.

    Could some there be an archive option for departments or job titles no longer in use, to ensure the option lists are relevent and don't becme unmanageable
