I have been working with Airtable for only a short time - with a view to building solutions for clients. One of the things that worries me is how easy it is to delete a record - simply right click and delete and it’s gone.
In my view there should at least be an Are you sure message - or the increasingly common requirement to type something like “Delete this record” into a dialog box.
It may be that a table option should be provided to allow a choice for the creator.
We’re using airtable as our entire customer project management system and one wrong deletion could screw up so many things! We need to have some sort of confirmation on the deletion of a record (or highlighted chain of records).
Maybe something like, if you’re sure you want to delete this, please type: “DELETE” and then the record/field can be deleted.
Any update on this?
We’ve been burned by this a few times (where a team member) accidentally deleted a record. If there was user role management to say only certain user roles can delete records, this would fix the problem as well. But, as it is, let’s just copy the ‘delete comment’ confirmation that you already have in place, but for records!
