Is there support for deleting the entire column in Glide now? ---

You mean clearing all values in a column? Other than manually, the only way to do that is via the API. ---

Yes, that’s what I meant. I’m sorry, English is not my native language. I know a little about adding rows or deleting rows, but how do you delete data in a column or multiple column? ---

Here is an example: I should note - that video was made before we had the JSON Template column. I would recommend using that now to create the JSON payload. ---

Hi Darren, so, is the value of the column determined through the “response” column that you created? ---

No, the value is whatever you send as the column value in the mutation. The response column that you see in the video is just to capture the response from the API. For `set-columns-in-row`, it isn’t really needed, as the API will always return a null set for each mutation. Where it can be useful is if you are adding rows. In that case, the API will return the RowID of each row created, and so sometimes you might want to capture that and use it in another action. ---

Ok. Succesfully. Thank you @Darren_Murphy ---

It turns out that this API call method consumes updates equal to: the number of rows + 1. ---

Yes, that’s the downside 🙂 I expect that before too long we won’t need the API for these type of bulk operations, and then they will only count as updates if the table is connected to an external data source. ---

Indeed… it ought to be that way. ---
