Hi,

It is pretty easy to add a new row to a table. However, I am struggling to find a way to empty / remove all rows from a table.

We are currently working on implementing a block to allow you to delete individual items from your data sources. I’m not sure if we have one to clear all data on the roadmap but feel free to open a github ticket and we will be sure to look into it.

Without this feature, I can’t use my own API to provide content to the data viewer list.

You probably can with the help of Integromat or Somme other automation service. I can show you an example if you’d like
