I’m trying to create food delivery app for my small restaurant. I got stuck to this scenario. At the final step, if customers decided to cancel all of items in their selection, how can I clear all rows by one button clicked. What method should I do here?

What I did to the data was (in glide table); I use 3 different table to transfer data. First table is Menu for when customer selects item ex. Steak with side choices (column user specific). Once customer click add to your basket button that item transfer to new row by set column value in second table ‘My Order’. Then once customer satisfy with their selection, they will press another button to make a final step. This button will then send all items to the confirmed order table and in this table they will get custom order id with joined list menu to summarize the order.

I feel a bit like I’m a one-trick pony these days 😅, but I think you could achieve this if you use a dynamic table instead of a static one. The problem is, Glide doesn’t have the functionality to update multiple rows with an action.

So I’ve been doing a lot of trickery using the [Miracle method](https://community.glideapps.com/t/transpose-columns-to-an-inline-list-the-miracle-method/32766), and actually had to solve something similar to what you’re describing for [saving progress](https://community.glideapps.com/t/repeating-steps-using-miracle-method-how-do-i-save-boolean-values-for-these-rows/39332).

Glide maybe do not have it yet… but it has something better! a JavaScript 😉  
You can do whatever you want…

> [@arrows\_counterclockwise Bulk clear, edit, restore and delete columns plus Undo action](https://community.glideapps.com/t/bulk-clear-edit-restore-and-delete-columns-plus-undo-action/59546):
>
> A little fun with Glide columns, using Java wink It works well and fast. You can edit or clear the whole column in one click… then undo, edit, or restore all to default. I used a regular inline list. You can still edit, add or delete individual rows as usual. It is a free app with no scripts and no Google Sheets… Pure Glide Page (App)

Thank you. I have never used code before. I have no prior knowledge about computer language but I will try my best. Using Glide is the first time that I feel like ordinary people can create something.
