Remove table row

Introduction

The Remove table row rule allows you to remove rows within a specified table. The rule targets only the last row in a table and will do nothing when there are no rows present in a table. You can apply conditions to this rule which will allow you to perform checks and only remove rows when a certain condition is met.

When to use

You can use this rule paired up with the Add table row rule. The add table rule will allow you to add a row with data in its columns and remove table row rule could be applied to a button, used to remove a row if wrong data has been entered. This gives the user the ability to add a row and remove rows. Give the remove table row rule a condition to make sure not to delete valuable data, see Conditions for more detail. To learn more about Add table row rule go to Add table row.

You can add this rule:

• to a field
• to a form
• to a process (the rule will run on load)
