As we use the « Delete Row » action, would be great to have the Option « Show « Are you sure? » popup » before deleting the row. I almost does this manually every time.  
Thanks!

A native option would be nice, but you can build your own process.

You could change the button action to ‘Show New Screen’ → ‘This Item’ with an overlay. Then on that screen add a button bar. The first button will be the Delete Row action, and the second button could be a Go Back action to close the overlay.

You can also do this just with buttons.

Just using a user-specific column to prime for delete, then if you hit cancel it goes back to the original state.

Oh, didn’t mention, I’m using visibility controls to hide/show each button block.

This would be an amazing native feature.
