Hello.

I have a screen with a list, that it is user generated.  
As I click on an item, I open that specific item on a new screen.

On the new screen, as I want to delete that specific item, I have a block that will delete the first item form the main list from the initial screen, but not the item that was open.

**I would like to delete only the item that was open on the new screen.**  
**Thank you.** 🙏

Hi, @io.nut.ilie! 👋

I used this kind of concept when I was developing a “notes” feature in my app.  
Here’s what I did, and it worked -

Hope I helped you! 😄  
Thanks! 😊

**P.S.** the illustrations you provided were very helpful 👍 👍

Thank you @kartik14.

I wanted to have details and delete on other screen than the screen with the Listview.  
**From your sample** I understand it that would be better to have delete function on the same screen. So I have created a custom Alert that will display the Listview items - if clicked - as detail on other screen but it keeps the Delete function of a specific item on the main Listview screen.

The illustrations are easy done it with a free software. PM if you want the name because I have no idea if it is allowed to put other brands name on forum.

**Thank you** again for your support.
