Hello everyone,


I have been greatly enjoying Interfaces, what a wonderful tool, thank you !

However, I don’t understand if and how I can delete a record from inside an interface.


For example, I have an interface that is a record list. Above that record list I put a button/link to a form associated with the table from the record list, so that I can create new records. But I don’t understand how I could delete records from inside the interface. For now, I’m going back to my base with grid view, I have to find the record, right click and delete. Not the most efficient.


Is is possible to delete a record from inside an interface?

If not, did any of you find a decent workaround?


Thank you,

Ray

Unfortunately there’s no straightforward way to do this currently, although I would imagine its coming.


Right now, you can do this either with an automation (with a drop down field trigger for example), or by having a list of linked records, clicking on that, then clicking on the original record from the popup and deleting it the traditional way.

Thanks !

I just did the dropdown + automation (with a script found here). Works good enough !

For info…I’ve just today gone to implement this and seen a notice that there’s “New Button functionality” that natively does this and other functions - yay!!

Hi there!

At miniExtensions, we've created a third-party form designed exclusively to integrate with Airtable, offering a set of advanced tools to enable safe record deletion. In the form's Security section, you'll find options to allow users to delete records, protect the form with a password, enable CAPTCHA for added security, or even conditionally hide the delete button based on another field’s value.
