Hello, I’m new to Glide and I’ve created a simple check list. Now I want to be able to select one or multiple items and delete them. I added the button, named it Delete, I also added the Template and Relation column in my data table as suggested in this post ([Delete selected Row not working](https://community.glideapps.com/t/delete-selected-row-not-working/65633?u)) and now my button is gone. It’s just not on my screen although I can still see it as a component and edit it. Any idea why and how I can make it visible? Thank you in advance! ---

So you copied the steps given in the solution in the thread that you linked to? If the button is not visible, that means that either: - You have a visibility condition that causes it to be hidden, or - You have a condition on the button action that is not met, or - The action attached to the button cannot be executed Please share some screenshots, so we can help you determine which of the above is the problem. ---

Hi Darren, yes, here are some screenshots. Let me know if there’s anything else I can add. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/c/cc30eaea4553e4e1e585520e967b9f053868ab04.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/1/317b394fce032d9f06db8a2a29a3407c8bf3fc8d.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/3/63607c3b46735a26ce3090f6a489ee1e52fca4cc.png) ---

Your relation is empty, so there is nothing to delete, causing the button to disappear. For a relation to work, it needs to find exact matches. What does the template column contain for a value? I think a Query column might be a more modern approach that might serve you better without the need for a template column. ---

Just noticed this which may be the issue. Try all lowercase letters for the word `true`. ![Screenshot_20240304-133614](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/d/8d68d82674f9cb7ce7c7a58c7627a1ca32c1c020.png) I would still use a Query column instead though. ---

I replaced Relation with Query and it works as expected now. Thank you very much! ---
