Hi! I’ve been using the delete row action for a while in my app and haven’t had any issues with it until recently. Below is my action logic. It seems there was a “lost pointer” issue so that Glide didn’t know which sheet “this row” was on, but I’m not moving between sheets at all.
I’m using Glide sheets for my app, not Google.
I also noticed if I just add a button to a detail screen and assign the delete row action, the button disappears. Has something changed that I’m missing?
No filters that would affect the button. If I add a new button, it shows up. If I assign any action other than delete row it’s still visible. But the delete row action makes the button disappear.
After tapping the delete confirmation i go back to the first image with the item still there. This used to work, maybe last month or the last couple of weeks is when I started noticing it.
Yes, the edit screen is tied to a row that I can see in the Table view.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to this issue. So after submitting a ticket, Glide said that my project plan is no longer supported and that I need to switch to a new Team plan. Then the issue would be resolved.
But unfortunately for what I need, the Team plan that has the features that I currently have with my individual plan will cost 400% more than what I’m currently paying . Glide did offer a credit to try the team plan out but this will be a non-viable solution if these rates stay this elevated. Single app creators like me can’t afford the $99/month price but need more features than the new $25/month price tier…
I don’t think that can be right. The App where I am experiencing this issue is on a Startup Plan. It was on the old Pro plan when the issue surfaced, but the issue is still there. The app I copied the logic to in order to demonstrate the issue is on a Free plan. But the plan should not make a difference as to whether the “Delete” action works or not.
I don’t know. The email I got in response suggested that I am not worthy of email support On a starter plan – which is fine for true support. But I hope that doesn’t include bugs. I wish they had their template thing fixed so I could share the app and get someone else to verify the bug. I found out last week they probably don’t intend to do the copy app feature for pages.
Support replied, " The delete action will not work as expected inside an Edit Screen. This is because the Edit screen does not work directly on the row you are editing. In order to get the row deleted, you need to enable the Allow users to delete. Then use the visibility conditions to show the delete button when the condition is met."
So there is a workaround provided, but this answer leaves a few questions.
If there are actions that should not work for a particular screen type, should those actions be suppressed from the list?
If we are ‘pointing’ to that record to edit it, why won’t it work? (my guess is they are using a temporary data row in order to make ‘cancel’ easy).
I agree with both, and I’m sure it did work before. Now that you type those out, I realized I just submitted a ticket for the same problem last week, since my delete action inside the edit screen suddenly doesn’t work anymore.
I don’t agree with using the “native” delete option. It doesn’t allow for any “custom prompt”. Imagine allow deleting a user but the prompt says do you want to delete this item? That’s the whole reason I used a button.
It did absolutely work before. When it stopped working it was in a gigantic app that I don’t test the features every day. And I did try to replace it with the native delete and I don’t like that option either.
