Hi
Wouldn’t these blocks remove rows from first my local table (myItemsList) then my Airtable (AT_Food4Two_List)?
Is there something I am misunderstanding?
The item will get removed from the Local list (myItemsList), but Airtable are unefetcted…
I use something similar for Adding items, and that works fine!:
The idea is to be able to work locally to speed up the workflow and gain the experience for the user. So everything I do in the app is being updated to my local list but also my Airtable database in the background, which is syncing with the local list every time Screen1 starts.
But when delete items it will only be deleted for the local list but Airtable won’t get effected.
Thanks for any ideas!
You are taking the “row id” green block from a DVL which is connected to a specific table and these “row id” are for this table. Row IDs are unique and will not be duplicated and therefore the “row id” that works with your local table should not work with another table whether local or Airtable.
Therefore, you are trying to delete a non-existing row in Airtable.
Thanks, I understand, but I did not in the last example. I took the app variable containing all the items as the rowObject. (As I understood this from an Thunkable tutorial, there is something underlying with this method that actually sees which row I am at, but maybe I have misunderstood.) ?
I do understand now that this other method wont work either as I am “picking” the item from the DVL. So, if I am right with the underlying mystery from that tutorial I would need to go from my ListViewer I guess.
So, I am starting to thinking, maybe I need to “get the rowNr” for that Item. Is there anyone with any ideas how to do that? I need to get the rowNr for that item in Airtable by select and swipe on my DVL.
I am thinking something like this:? But if close then something is missing as it wont do it for me
You need to change your strategy.
First, your local table should contain 2 columns (“items” and “AT_rowId” for Airtable row id)
Second, you don’t need all the list variable you are creating.
Once you perform GetAllRows from Airtable table delete all rows from your local table and then start your loop through the rows matching the User ID with selected User ID and when found add it to the local table with the “items” and “_id”.
Your DVL will show only the items column and when you select or swipe then first read the content of the row in your local table and save the AT_rowId in a variable then delete the row in the local table and thereafter delete the row in Airtable table using the AT_rowId you saved in your variable.
May I ask, with “_id”, do you mean “AT_rowId” from this line:
“First, your local table should contain 2 columns (“items” and “AT_rowId” for Airtable row id)”
?
Or is that a column/property from your Airtable-sheet (that I can’t see)?
