If the Firebase Tag is a child, example: The parent is called **User Info** and it has children tags called **Name** and **Age** and you want to keep the tag **Name** but not **Age** , you can pull the **User Info** tag, then upload it again without the **Age** object. Here is how this could be achieved: ## Firebase ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/3/b3f275a7de707484a9ba57b7cf859431b6203467.png) ## Thunkable ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/f/6fb2caad0649660d497d243695504287b12e6750.png) The blocks on the **left** are if you wanted to keep both tags. The blocks on the **right** are if you wanted to keep only specific tags. If the parent tag contained many child tags, and you called save under the parent tag, everything would be erased and your new child tag would be uploaded. Does that make sense? šŸ˜› In short, if you want to have full control over every object being saved or deleted, use the code on the right. ---

Hiā€¦ any recommendation how to save some tags, while deleting ony specific tag, it will be done by the app, and not my control in the database since my app is now live and have users, it willbe in big risk if all tags will be cleared out, because in my undestanding, you will get the tag and save it againā€¦how could be so sure if i have 100+ child tag and it will save all? ---

Hi, Use lists to work with data in Firebase. You ask if the system can properly store hundreds of child objects? Try it and tell us if it works with bug.

Cloud variables are designed to work with Firebase, and you use app variables that are designed for other purpose - [https://docs.thunkable.com/variables](https://docs.thunkable.com/variables) ---
