Hello dear team, Do we have any mean to target a precise row to delete, without using row owner ? It’s a past Row, so not in the bottom of the table. Furthermore, is it essential to have row owner de-activated in users table to use the “1:1 private chat app template” ? Or there is a workaround ? In other words, i would like to display “user profile” card to all users so they can see each other profile (up to date) and start a chat , While keeping private some columns of “users” table. Thanks in advance 🙏 ---

> [@Martin\_B](#): > > Do we have any mean to target a precise row to delete, without using row owner ? It’s a past Row, so not in the bottom of the table. Yes, you can do this by creating a single relation to the row in question, and then use a delete row action through that relation. If you take a look at my [custom forms concept app](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014), I use this technique to limit the number of rows (every time a row is added, one is removed). > [@Martin\_B](#): > > Furthermore, is it essential to have row owner de-activated in users table to use the “1:1 private chat app template” ? Or there is a workaround ? I’m not familiar with the template, but just in general - if you wanted to retain row owners in your User Profiles, what you would need to do is create a read-only view of your user profiles table with a minimal set of columns, and refer to this with your 1:1 chat. This is easy to do if you are using a Google Spreadsheet as a data source, otherwise it could be a challenge. ---

Thanks again Daren! I didn’t manage to target a row To delete, even by investigating your example app… I will try more tomorrow. BUT huge bug on Glide app now ! The Map inline list doesn’t work anymore at all ! For like 24 hours now. I saw some other people talking about it. How long do we have to wait ? Why the status page of glide appears all GREEN still ? 🙏 thanks ---
