Hi all, It seems that you can’t delete an item from a collection if the collection is within a form. The button delete just doesn’t appear. Am I the only one running into this issue? ---

Can you describe your use case here? Why do you need to delete a collection item inside a form? ---

The form is to edit information of an artist. Among this information, there is a collection of services that this artist provides. So inside the form, you can add a service and should be able to delete a service that this artist provides. There may be a cleaner way to do this. But even so, what could you add an item of a collection inside a form without being able to delete it? ---

> [@burningmikey](#): > > But even so, what could you add an item of a collection inside a form without being able to delete it? I agree that it mighr be a bug. Please get support from within Glide while the app is open by selecting the “?” button at the bottom right. That will bring you to a support page, which currently has an “Open Support Ticket” link. > [@burningmikey](#): > > There may be a cleaner way to do this. I would: - Show a collection of services on the details screen of the artist - Allow adding through the “title action” - Allow deleting through an item action: show new screen - slide in \> show a prompt like “Are you sure you want to delete this service?”, then a button bar to delete (delete action) or cancel (close overlay) ---
