Action button to delete selectively one or multiple columns' values of a row

I've 3 columns in a row with data in it

I'd like to delete one or multiple values of the 3 columns leaving the user the choice.

I.e. a popup when the user choose:

1 - Delete value column 1

2 - Delete value column 2

3 - Delete value column 3

4 - Delete all values

With one only popup window or similar ...

Is it possible to achieve in AppSheet ?

I presume you don't want to allow users to Edit the columns only clear them?   

You could create a specialized Detail view that has 4 buttons for your use cases and shows the 3 columns.

Personally, I would create Inline buttons and place right in the table view row next to the column.  When a user wished to delete/clear the column, they can do so right form the table view with no need to navigate elsewhere.

***************
But I wonder...what happens after they clear the values?  Do they update with new values? 

If they are simply going to re-populate with values again, then why not just allow them to edit the columns directly in a Form View?  If there are concerns about data mis-match, you can use validations to control that....but of course I don't know your exact use cases.

I hope this helps!

Hi @WillowMobileSys thanks for the reply.

I've only to clear "" the value in it.

I cannot create the inline (solution that i prefer) cause the columns are hidden if notblank.

I hope i could create one only action button in Primary position leaving the user to select clicking on it on a pop-up the 4 items (one or multiple or all) to "clear". Any hints ?
