I have a design where I use a subtable to calculate total CBM and GW from individual box sizes. I am trying to program an action button to quickly clear all the values of the calculator (subtable). I tried to use an update values button with empty values, but this just adds a new entry in the subtable with empty values instead of overwriting the existing ones.
I guess I need the button to actually delete all entries in the subtable. How can I accomplish this with a button?
I actually have another question related to the question above. For a subtable that has no external child/parent sheet, how can I show the red delete button at the left of each subtable row? There doesn’t seem to be any manual way for me to delete entries.
Hi Pax,
Did you try turn on the option for “Update all subtable records”?
The default setting is “Create a new subtable record.” I believe.
You need to have at least a field that is NOT Read Only to do so I believe, to prevent the user without authorization to edit to delete that record. You can always add a irrelevant field at the end to make it editable if all the other ones are read-only. Not an elegant solution, but it will work.
This worked. Thank you!
Some of the fields are editable, and some are read only. I also have another subtable on the same sheet that has all editiable fields. Neither subtable shows the delete row button. I also added an auto generate field to the subtable (like the one you have above) and I still don’t see a delete row button. There must be another way to activate that.
UPDATE: I just asked perplexity.ai and it gave the precise answer right away. From now on, I am going to ask AI first whenever I have any Ragic design questions lol 
For those who want to know how to do it, you need to make the subtables deletable from the Form Settings for the sheet. See below:
In fact, I did know how to do this at one time, but completely forgot. I really wish I had the knowledge and memory retention of these AI models.
Thanks for the update. The default is deletable I suppose.
Like you said, you knew how to do it at one time.
