But, my explores keep the erro in custom field and this not show in content validator.

This is an exerpt from Looker documentation:

Table calculations can only reference fields that are included in the query of a Look or tile. This means that if you remove a field from a Look or tile’s query but a table calculation still uses that field, you’ll get a new content validation error.

https://docs.looker.com/data-modeling/getting-started/look-validation

And then another section:

It does list custom fields there so I think this may have been either a bug or an incorrect information in the docs

Thanks for the answer @Dawid! Since the content validator should but didn't update the fields correctly (in my case, these were custom filters), what is your proposed workaround?
