Recursive Backend Workflows to search for and find and replace data

Questions
1

Hello I’ve never setup a recursive workflow before and am hoping someone can point me in the right direction and provide some guidance. Here’s what I’d like to do. If it were on the front end it would be as follows:
“Do a search for [database type]” then “find and replace” “X” which is constant with an empty text. So effectively I’m deleting all “X” within a database “type”.
The recursive workflow should run until all “X” are found and replaced with nothing (deleted) and stop when there are no more “X” within the database “type” being searched for.

Hopefully this is enough information and straight forward enough :crossed_fingers:

Hi,

Once you will change the field X to nothing and your list is not so big - more than 1000 itens, you can use Make Change to a List or even Bulk fearture in App Data Bubble editor

What do you want to delete ?

If an object : “Delete a list of things”
If an entry in a list : “Modify a thing” then on the list field “Remove” or “Remove a list”
