Description: The Fields Component is not allowing to delete fields from it.

How to replicate: Just select any Fields Components and inspect the details panel.

I can’t reproduce. Are you not seeing the X to delete a field, or are you clicking on it and nothing happens?

[Fadi_Malek]

Eventually I cannot see the X to delete a field… see the attached snapshot.

Interesting. Currently on my phone right now (Android/Chrome), and this is what I see. Is there any difference if you use Safari? Have you tried clearing browser cache, and/or restarting your browser or computer?

This seems like a issue with inline templates

[Fadi_Malek]

I tried all of these just now. Restarted my computer, restarted the browser, cleared the cache… the same issue still remains on both Chrome and Safari.
PS. I am accepting to update to the new Glide version when asked to, and this has started today after the last proposed update… maybe yours is not updated yet, or you didn’t accept the proposed update!.. Glide support should answer please.

I agree, there should ideally be a way to remove fields directly. However, for now, you can delete the value from both columns, which will remove the field.

The issue you’re facing might be related to the new Inline Templates feature, which is currently in Beta. I don’t believe Glide “required” us to enable it. Instead, they provided the option in team settings, but with a cautionary note since it’s a preview feature and might have some bugs. You can always disable beta features from your team settings if needed.

[Jeff_Hager]

Yeah, I didn’t have inline templates enabled.

[Fadi_Malek]

You got it @Hassan_Nadeem, it is caused by the inline templates option indeed. when I turned if off, all went back to normal, however, all the inline templates that I’ve used in my app can no more be edited in the standard mode.

Now that we know the reason behind, we better hope that Glide would keep the inline option but work on fixing the resulting issue in the fields component.
