Patching deleted item into a collection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi All,

I have a collection from which the user can delete items. I am trying to delete the items from the collection first and once the user confirms the changes, to delete items from the data source too.
On delete button I have been trying to patch the selected record by adding a new column: Delete = true. However, I am stuck with the formula of adding a column to the existing collection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    You could add a button and set it's OnSelect property to:

     

    Collect(CollectionName,{Delete:false})

     

    and set it's visible property to:

     

    false

     

     

    You do not need to select the button , and the column will be added automatically.

     

    Best Regards,

    @v-bofeng-msft 
    Thank you for your response. I am not sure if I understand how your suggestion should work. I would like to either delete the item from the collection on select or add a status that it is deleted. Later, once the user presses "Confirm", I would like to delete the items that have been deleted in the collection.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    The solution is used to add a new 'Delete' column to the collection.
