Deleting auto-created Templates, safe ?

Post by liveme » Wed Apr 07, 2021 9:10 am

Hi,
I'm getting out of nowhere (that I can think of) few templates being added to the App, so I'm wondering if I could just delete the main Datagrid and all sub 4 templates below... is that possible, or are they somehow linked to some Datagrid I'm using in my cards ???

Thanks for any details about that...

NOT SAFE! 8)

Your datagrids need these templates, so if you delete them, your datagrids will stop working!

Just wondering, why do you want to fiddle with what makes up your dataGrid?

Hi.

You first spoke about deleting templates. Did you really mean deleting cards?

The cards in the datagrid template hold the template objects that are used to make the live datagrid. So don't delete them.

@Craig, yes, I was talking about cards 1002 to 1005... somehow they looked to me as extra useless cards, not as DGs' that are in my App cards.
..ok, seems they are nec indeed.
Will just leave those where there are then.
tks guys !!
:wink: :idea:
