So I have a table called task which is related to a table called milestone

When I delete the a row in the task table view, and I open the milestone row which the task is related, for some reason its not deleted in the task relation row.

I created a Loom video to demonstrate what I mean.

Reason why this is an issue is because as you can see the milestone percentage dosent change unless I manually remove the task from the related column

Thanks for your efforts and help Coda family

Hello @Fayez_Ben_Ahmed ,  
This is the way it is supposed to work, although I guess its not what you expect it to work.  
It is actually deleted, but the related column shows a sort of remnant of your original row. If you want to delete these remnants automatically, you have to build a (button) function in the task row to first get rid of these related entries and then delete the current task.

That makes sense, ill adopt my progress bar formula to exclude those “deleted” entries. Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. Wishing you a happy day 🙂
