I see in the videos and guides that there is a section to allow the user to delete. I don’t want to user to be able to delete a piece of the record, but I do want to give the user the ability to delete the record. For example, they can add a transaction and edit the transaction, but I can’t give them the ability to delete the added transaction. Is there a greater setting I need to have set? I am using Google Sheets and wonder if there is a greater lockdown in the sheet preventing this.

Thank you for any help!

When you are on the edit screen, there is an option to allow deleting that has to be enabled.

There is also a Delete Row action that you can apply to anything, such as buttons or lists, to delete a row.

I hope the image works! I would like a delete button at the bottom for this. All I seem to see is the edit option.

Your assistance is greatly appreicated!

Hi @Anna,

See here to enable the Delete Item option on the Edit screen like Jeff said! :
