Hi everybody&nbsp;

I created a simple workflow handled in an application page that contains a table, a button to start a new process (that creates a new entry in the datatable) and now I would like to complete my CRUD operations on the table with a delete. I've already read that it's suggested to not delete the entry, but to set a "deleted" boolean flag, so I did in that way. Now for each entry, I put a button (the red one bottom in the screenshot) that should delete the entry. I tried to use a custom query and calling it with the button, but I discovered that UPDATE queries are not allowed. So, how can I accomplish this simple task?&nbsp;

Hi Frap,

I'm not sure to clearly understand your question since attached image is not displayed, but to perform and update to your BDM entry, just use an operation that will set, using a java method to set your boolean attribute using the boolean field in your contract

Kind regards,
