Just tried a short cut by copying a screen from an existing app and found that the asset list is still present but cannot be deleted. I expect I can add new assets as I intend but the asset list is a bit messy this way. Is there any way to force delete?

That sounds unusual @penny - does anything happen when you click the delete icon? Any error message?

No, there’s nothing. No message.
