Hi There Extremely untalented user but have got a long way into an app build successfully so far. I have a Team screen like the YouTube examples (with no photos) and it all works fine. I can add new team members and Edit, however I have set up the Delete exactly per the YouTube Delete Data from a Data Source - I have a Delete button appearing on a right swipe but nothing happens in App or Data Source file (Google Sheets) when the button is clicked on my Android device. Testing on Web does not function as the right swipe returns instantly before the Delete button can be clicked. Any ideas any one?? Cheers ---

Hello @pafoxcharlieo Thank you for sharing your project. I was able to replicate the issue testing your project but I couldn’t replicate it on a different project. It might be an issue with this specific list viewer. Could you please delete it and add a new one? ---

Hello to you Ioannis Thanks for taking a look at this for me. I have deleted and rebuilt the Data Viewer on my workscreen and deleted and reinstalled it on the Team Screen. I am able to add new members and they are presenting immediately on the Google sheet Data Source. Sad to say that it has made no difference to the Delete issue! I have taken a screen shot of the Design and the Workscreen in case its me building it incorrectly - for this DV I have used a layout with three containers and loaded in the required labels to achieve the result on the Team Screen - I think its great but I could be doing it wrong!! Ignore all the other stuff on the workscreen (they all work by the way!!) - the DV in question has the Layout in red dash. So grateful for your attention. Please pardon me if my replies are delayed - I am in New Zealand so in a different Time Zone Cheers P ![TeamScreenDesign](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/8/085fc215cc4e9c4ca54fd40b528420abd8f29ae4.jpeg) ---

I have just tested it with IOS and same outcome - adds a new member fine but will not delete! Also Reloaded Thunkable App from Playstore on both devices. ---

Thanks Ioannis I reloaded my live App, hard refresh on Thunkable and Data source but it still doesn’'t work for me! Very odd ☹ I will be away for 12 -13 hours and will see what else I can do at this end. Thanks for your perseverance - much appreciated ---

Hi @pafoxcharlieo Thank you for testing it. I am not sure where is the issue. If it is on the data viewer list block or if it is on the data source “delete row” block. Could you please move the block “delete row” inside of a “when button click” block? And please “set a label” with the “row id” inside of the “data viewer list right swipe click” block Then test it and let us know what is happening ---

Hi there I have made the changes you suggested, as I understood them (correctly I hope) - see screen shot of ScreenTeam blocks as altered. When the Right Swipe on my device was activated and the Delete button clicked the Team Members name changed to “Label” No changes took effect in the DataSource Thanks P > **(attachments)** > > ![Team Screen #1.JPG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/f/c/fcd97b195cae3af3083bb3a522bcdf144ced46b2.jpeg) ---

I also tried to add a Delete button on my Team Member Edit screen and adding a delete row block but nothing happens - is this pointing to the Block being the issue? > **(attachments)** > > ![AddNewTeamMember#1.JPG](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/6/56fba57fbaf6e2246d6a44a33df12a3405bf93d8.jpeg) ---

HI @pafoxcharlieo Thank you for testing it. It seems that the issue is with the delete rew block. Could you please add the following blocks to a button? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/9/1/913cbfe5f3a12adc1c1509e97d8a9aabee6935df.png) Set the row id to 1 and the error into a label Please let us know what is happening when you test it ---

OK - I have done that and there was no change to the label text which I assume should have gone to “error” - am I correct? Nothing changed in the DataSouce either ☹ Its after 11pm so will log on in 8 hours or so and tomorrow evening. Thanks again for your efforts to resolve this for me and anyone else who may be observing!!
