    Hi Maarten, 

    You can use the formula

     

    delete()

     

    But please be aware: If you only use that formula it will delete the data record imediately.

    More information about that function you will find in our User Manual here:

    We would suggest to use the waste basket symbol in Ninox in order to delete the current record.

    Best, Jörg

    Hello Jörg,

    Many thanks, I'm using it for Todo items that don't need an extra confirmation.

    The correct formula is

    delete(this)

     

    Best, Maarten

    Refer to the dialog function.. 

    dialog("Delete", "Are you sure you want to delete this record?", ["OK", "Cancel"])

    Be advised .. dialog does not work the same in all platforms and will not fire with all triggers.. so best to put it behind a button..

    let result := dialog("Warning", "Are you sure?", ["Yes", "No"]);
    if result = "Yes"
    alert("Deleted");

    delete (this)

    else
    alert("Canceled")
    end

    It should be :

    let result := dialog("Warning", "Are you sure?", ["Yes", "No"]);
    if result = "Yes" then
    alert("Deleted");

    delete (this)

    else
    alert("Canceled")
    end

     

    Steven.
