Action requires confirmation

[NeilH]

I have built an action that initiates a series of other actions. One of those actions deletes a series of rows from a table. When I initiate that action, the app asks me to confirm that I want to proceed. I don’t want this confirmation message to appear at all. I have set the app to not require confirmations but I’m still getting the confirmation request. How can I stop this?

Is this a system generated action which is doing the delete?

[NeilH]

I’m not sure I understand the question, Aleksi. The action initiated by the user (named, ‘Initiate reporting sequence’) triggers a number of other actions, one of which is an action that deletes all the rows in a table. None of these actions are set to require a confirmation.
Does that give you the detail you need?

If the set of actions performed by Initiate reporting sequence includes the Delete action provided by AppSheet (i.e., system-generated), that action is–by default–configured to ask for confirmation from the user:

If you created your own action of type Data: delete this row, the Needs confirmation? option is set to ON by default as well.

Hi Steve,

I'm having the same issue as above. I'm using the app generated "delete" action as part of a grouped sequence of actions.

I have definitely changed the setting "needs confirmation" for all actions within the grouped action to "off". Any way around this?

The "delete" action is also set to "off" (for needs confirmation). Will it still require confirmation even with it set to off?

[Steve]

First, I recommend leaving the system-provided Delete in its original state, with Needs confirmation? ON. Copy the system-provided one and reconfigure the copy (disable confirmation and hide the action), then use the copy in your grouped action. Try this first. If it doesn't work, please post screenshots of the delete action configuration and of the grouped action configuration.

Thanks Steve,

I have now realised the solution to the problem. The action was an "execute an action on a set of rows" and was reference to a different table than the one I was executing the delete from. The delete action under this referenced table had not been changed to confirmation not required
