I missed a field in my custom sourcetype

I am trying to add a field that I missed on my custom sourcetype. If I add it to the transforms.conf, the data (event) stops getting indexed. My transforms is a simple delimited fields entry. Is there a way to add this field to the event after the missing it? Also, will
the indexer enter a second event that has the same host, source, sourcetype and event time (_time) ? ...a duplicate event ?

Need more detail. What does your inputs.conf, props.conf, and transforms.conf look like?

And maybe add a sample set of events to the post.
