Valentina 1.x build index on a field as only you do search or sort on it
Index will remain forever

In Valentina 2.0 will change that.
Index will be made only if you sort on field.
We have add search on not indexed field.

I know that you use V4MD so there is no classes.

Then yes, you can simply in VAPP modify your structure.

If you want do this runtime on computer of your client with their existed
database then it is good idea after that set SchemaVersion = 2
