Hey all! Has anyone come up with a bit of javascript to change the text on the confirmation prompt of a delete button? I would like to change the text from the standard, “Are you sure you want to delete this?”.

Here is what I have tried below

1. Custom JavaScript to Override Confirmation Text:

2. Custom JavaScript to Create a Custom Delete Button:

3. Custom JavaScript to Remove the Confirmation Prompt Entirely:

None of the above work. I have managed to get a second prompt but cannot remove the first or change the text.

I’m looking to either:

1. Change the default confirmation text that appears when deleting a record.
2. Alternatively, remove the confirmation prompt altogether and allow the deletion to proceed immediately.

Any assistance with this would be so greatly appreciated!!!
