Re: Deleting Data Elements do not work

 

Hi, 
regarding the popup, I think that is a browser (Chrome and possibly others) feature - if there are multiple similar(?) popups, it will ask you if you want to ignore all. I though this was only a one-time thing and that they would not disappear permanently, but not sure about this.

No messages, no "deleting....", not even any error messages that the data element cannot be deleted because it's linked to this or that object.
