> [@Delete child rows when deleting a parent row (via multiple relation)](https://community.glideapps.com/t/delete-child-rows-when-deleting-a-parent-row-via-multiple-relation/2590):

> Hi there, In my app, users can create categories, then subcategories, then subsubcategories and so on (5 levels). But they can also delete any category or subcategory, at all level. I am using unique id’s in order to ensure the link between these items remains even if the user change the item name. But, in case of item deletion, the child of this item remain alone, most in the dark of my sheet, and are consuming rows. I would need your advice on the best way to manage this issue. I thank abo…

Similar to this one:

> [@Ability to "Set columns", "Increment" and "Delete Rows" via multiple relations](https://community.glideapps.com/t/ability-to-set-columns-increment-and-delete-rows-via-multiple-relations/19584):
>
> Currently, the Action to “Set columns” only consider the current sheet or any single relations (to update a column in a single row). I’m trying to create a “bulk approval” process where the “set column” action could look at a multiple relation and update each corresponding row in that relation.
