Cannot Delete Images/Drawing on Android with new drawing feature

AppSheet AppSheet Q&A

The new drawing feature in Android is great, but there is a significant bug whereby you cannot delete the images/drawings anymore.

I have reported this to AppSheet support, but their response was not ideal.

They don’t seem to think it’s a crucial function !!

This is their reply.

"While adding a new drawing/image in android can be deleted by discarding the whole entry, but once you save the entry then it cannot be deleted in the android version.

Unfortunately, this feature of deleting any drawing/image for the android version is not available in the appsheet right now. Although, you can submit a feature request to Delete image by going to your AppSheet Account > Click on the Help button (?) on the top right > Click on Submit Feedback"

To which I replied: "It’s like saying you can lock the door to your house but you can never unlock it!"

Surely other users have a problem with this lack of Function? It seems to be very quiet on here.

This will be fixed so you can also clear the existing photo while on the form view. If this is urgent, you can change the column type to Image and set the option “Allow drawing on images”. Then you can use the new drawing functionality and you can still clear the image/drawing as it was possible earlier without the new option.
