Hi! I want to confirm if the only way to delete an event from the calendar component is to manually delete the item row. I’m making this app for myself and I’m a total beginner. I can be a klutz sometimes, so while I was checking for issues, I realized that I couldn’t delete an event. (I also thought I’d just probably edit the event date, but I still wanted to confirm and maybe hear of some other methods if there are any.)

- Go to the Calendar Actions section and enable advanced actions
- Change the Item Click action from “Show Edit Screen” to “Show Details Screen”
- On that screen you can add a Delete button and configure a “Delete Row” action.
