Restore confirmation message to delete reccord


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

Hello, 

I accidentaly misclicked the button “do not show this message again” when the confirmation message to delete a reccord appeared.

I would like to restore it please. 

I tried to explore interface settings while looking for this fonctionnality but without success. 

If anyone as an idea, i’m all ear.
Thanks and have a nice day !

Assume this is a ‘Delete Record’ button on the interface. If so, try

Alt 1 to access edit

Right hand column - Toggle ‘Require confirmation’ button to green

Thanks a lot for your answer ​@gaomeile  !

 

Yes, you’re right to ask, I’m not sure it is a button (as it’s not a customisable button) but didn’t know how to call it.
Just to be sure, this is the “delete record” I’m talking about : 
 


I tried Alt + 1 (on windows) but didn’t see any window or interface appear. 

Sorry if I misspoked and thanks for the answer !

Hey ​@Dodybuddy!

For further context.
1. It seems you are not working on interfaces, but on data base layer.
2. It seems you deleted a record via the data base layer, and used to receive a confirmation message which you are no longer receiving. Is this correct? -I don’t see the message on my side, so I just assume that if such message existed I also clicked on “don’t show this again”

Idea?
Not sure this would work at all. But did you try clearing your browsers cache?

Ideal solution?
If this confirmation set up is important to you (and for many other reasons as well), I would probably suggest you create interfaces for your system. As shown by ​@Dodybuddy, via interfaces you can toggle on the option for a popup to request confirmation for deletion via button. 

If you ned any further help setting up the above, feel free to reach out and I’d be happy to show you around in a 5 min call.

- Also, interested to know if clearing cache actually gets the job done! If you give it a try, please do let me know :D

Thanks a lot for clarification ​@Mike_AutomaticN !

I tried clearing my bowser cache again and also tried in another web explorer with no success, sorry to let you know and thanks for the idea ! 😉

 

Yeah, I saw some tutorials and read Airtable doc on Interfaces. I think I will make one.
Thanks for the help and if needed I will call you.

Have a nice day !


P.S. : If I don’t find any way to restore it, I may try to contact the support and will let you know the solution 😊
