    Nothing immediately stands out to me as causing an issue there. Can you show me the data sent to the server and also the JSON response in return please?

    Thanks,
    Allan

    This is the post request sent for the delete

    ##Query String 
    boid: 1
    
    ##Form Data
    data[row_42][DT_RowId]: row_42
    data[row_42][f][id]: 42
    data[row_42][f][source]: 745
    data[row_42][f][destination]: 734
    data[row_42][f][flag]: 1
    data[row_42][f][type]: L3
    data[row_42][f][enabled]: 0
    data[row_42][f][description]: 
    data[row_42][f][create_by]: 10478
    data[row_42][f][update_by]: 10478
    data[row_42][invd1][name]: Adtran SDX 6330-48
    data[row_42][invd2][name]: Nokia XS-010G-Q
    action: remove
    __SCRFTOKEN: the value
    

    Json Response form that

    {
        "draw": null,
        "data": [],
        "recordsTotal": null,
        "recordsFiltered": null,
        "error": null,
        "fieldErrors": [],
        "id": null,
        "meta": {},
        "options": {},
        "searchPanes": {
            "options": {}
        },
        "files": {},
        "upload": {
            "id": null
        },
        "debug": [],
        "cancelled": []
    }
    

    then there is another request that returns all the table data after this one and that one look normal it returns the rows but the deleted one is not deleted.

    Answer ✓

    "debug": [],

    Suggests that no query was executed against the database. Which appears to agree with that you are seeing when you reload the page.

    I know it is a bit of a pain, but could you try removing the alias for the table name and see if that helps? i.e.

    new Editor(db, "pmt_flags f", "id")
    

    would be:

    new Editor(db, "pmt_flags", "id")
    

    And wherever you have f. in the fields (C# and Javascript) it would need to be updated to be pmt_flags. I'm not certain that is the issue, but it would be the starting point.

  • tomslloydtomslloyd Posts: 12Questions: 3Answers: 0

    It creates records with the alias in place, but sure will give that a go maybe the delete record is different for some reason.

  • allanallan Posts: 62,858Questions: 1Answers: 10,344 Site admin

    Yeah, it follows a slightly different code path and I had some issues with aliases in the past. It is possible there is still an issue there. I'll try it later on as well.

    Allan

  • tomslloydtomslloyd Posts: 12Questions: 3Answers: 0

    Hey removing the alias worked, can you please make a fix to allow the DELETE to work with aliases as this can only help

  • allanallan Posts: 62,858Questions: 1Answers: 10,344 Site admin

    Thank you for confirming that and good to hear there is a workaround for the moment.

    I've logged this so I can look at it for the next release of Editor.
