Hi,

I have a collection with listings.  
I have another collection with photos for each listings.

I am using the “simple list” template to list all the listings.  
left section displays all the listing. I am using the right section to give the option user to delete that listing.  
I know how to set it up so, i click the right section, and it delete the current listing. I also, want all the photos associated for that listing to be deleted at the same time. It’s not giving me the action option to delete the photos as well.

I just want to click the right section, and it should delete the current listing and all the photos user uploaded for the same listing to be deleted

Please help.

You are thinking about deleting the “Parent” record (Listing) & the “child” records (Photos) in one go. Please search the forum for “delete parent child records”. Your solution will be there.

that video didn’t help. I don’t even know where he is getting the Timer option. i was looking for timer, but couldn’t find it. I think this is a very important concept to be able to delete the child collection when deleting the parent option, not sure why there needs to be a work around.
