Hello,
I am trying to make a “To Do List” app and I am using a Data Viewer list. This makes it easier for me to show the users if they have completed their task or not.
I tried to make the right-swipe the “cancel” button, which deletes a specific item that the users want to delete. However, I do not know how to use the blocks for this. I have made an alert component which shows “You are deleting this item. Are you sure?” but the item is not deleting. Can anyone help me?

Hello,
After selecting an entry in the Data List Viewer handler, you can get the rowId. Use this value in the data Source component record deletion block
