Ability to delete records as part of scheduled tasks

I use a Task to change a field in a record so that it will be filtered out of views. I really want the Task to delete the record.

I have to manually perform 'Deletes' in the Builder periodically to get rid of them.

Especially given Knack’s business model, this feature would be absolutely and incredibly helpful… and there’s no way they’re ever going to give it to us. -_-

Reviving this Feature Request. :wink:

I could understand it taking some time to implement but its been 4 years. This is an important feature and only by spending $$$ for custom development can you get around it :frowning:

@MarkWaschk18154 - I’m in full agreement and I’m aware that @Kara and the team are working hard to catchup since joining Knack :rocket:

I appreciate this isn’t the solution you’re looking for but it might help for a bit.

For Knack Team:

The trade-off is Launching at the same time the Apps/tables intercommunication - generating more Apps, records and data - and the Delete records in Task section - to keep a clean up-to-date DB and generate fees for deleted records recovery. :wink:
