Button / You want to really delete?

Ask for Help
1

First of all, thanks a lot for your helpful tips!
I’d like to add a button with Delete Row. The problem is: it deletes immediately.

I already created a workflow and used Show Notification, but that just shows some text and then deletes the row right away.

What I would like instead is:
Do you really want to delete?

Yes → Delete row
No → Go back to input without delete

  • Change the action to Show New Screen → This item, make the target Overlay or Slide-in
  • On the next screen, add a suitable message, plus a button block with two buttons: Confirm and Cancel
  • The Confirm action should delete the row
  • The Cancel action should close the overlay

Yeah, I asked for that Delete Warning Notification option to return years ago like it was in the old Classic apps and like it is in the new apps for deleting uploaded images and files (clicking on the X). Seems custom coding it won out instead of making it a default “Options” for the Delete action.

It certainly could prevent accidental row deletes and save on the need to code it up manually.

Hi Darren,

Done: Change the action to Show New Screen → This item, make the target Overlay or Slide-in

But Problems with this:

  • On the next screen, add a suitable message, plus a button block with two buttons: Confirm and Cancel
  • The Confirm action should delete the row
  • The Cancel action should close the overlay

you mean next screen in Workflow? Dont find suitable message in workflow(+)
Cant Buttons put in Workflow… Thats really complex for me…

No, screens don’t exist in workflows :slight_smile:

You have an existing button, that does a Delete Row->This item action.
Change that action to Show New Screen->This item.
Now when you click on the button, you get a completely new screen, attached to the row you are considering deleting. There will be some default components on that screen. Delete them all, then carry on from there… :down_arrow:
