Delete record from collection

Posted on by ldurland

I can have a delete button in the gallery with the code below and it removes the local collection record no problem.

remove(LocalDraft,Gallery3.Selected)

If however i add in a new validation screen to confirm deletion or UpdateContext variable on the same screen the code above never removes the record.

on the new validation screen yes button to delete i have this.

Remove(LocalDraft,Gallery3.Selected);SaveData(LocalDraft,"LocalDraft");LoadData(LocalDraft,"LocalDraft");Navigate(OutBox,ScreenTransition.Fade)

anyideas why it is no working?

Hi @ldurland,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I tested the remove() function under another screen, It seems there is some problems when working with the Gallery.Selected record.

As a workaround, please take a try to match the proper record with the Data Source (or the collection) directly, for example:

Remove(Collection1,LookUp(Collection1,ID=Gallery1.Selected.ID))

Check to see if doing this would help.

Regards,

Michael

Hi,

I have noticed an issue with the work around

Remove(Collection1,LookUp(Collection1,ID=Gallery1.Selected.ID))
If the user clicks the button multiple times it will remove other records. Any idea when this will be looked at?

Try this one :
Remove('collection name', ThisItem)
it works 😉

For deleting individual record from the gallery, this code
Remove('collection name', ThisItem)
gives me an error. It seems like it is unable to fetch ThisItem(showing not recognised)
