Please help: Delete (empty/clear) a list

jupixy · 2024-10-31T22:20:34.682Z

Hi all,

I’m so frustrated and need your help please!

In my Database:

There’s a Field type “text” list (multiple entries) as you can see filled with the values “Heiligabend” and “TestDummyText”.

Now I want to clear this list from that record (delete all items/clear the list). But how to achieve that?

Here’s my workflow:

It’s also not possible to add a new (text) item to that list:

Here’s the error message:

Thanks in advance

Okay… great. But what’s with this:

Now, I just want to remove the item after press on a button. the item + button is inside a repeating group,

The workflow:

I want that: If the user clicks the button in the RG, then this item should be REMOVED (:minus) from the List of the DB’s record:

But it’s not possible to access the partent’s object…?!
I’m confused. Sorry :-/

Thanks very much for helping out.

Wow - I got the solution:

Works great.
**BUT: Why only 1 possible exact same string value possible to add via app?

If I try to add a string twice (“TextA”), nothing happens with that workflow:

… in the editor (backend) same values are possible to add:

AND also strange is, that it’s not possible to use a blank (space) in thas input text field:

Strange!
