Delete Current Child Object

This is very unique task in the vDesigner application. When this task executes, it deletes the entity/control/record that the user has currently selected to delete. To apply this task, you need to provide the JSON path of that parent entity under which you add multiple objects such as form, card, list, elements, and others.

In the mobile app, when a user selects specific data to delete it, this task picks the record of the selected data from the array type JSON path of the parent entity and then deletes the currently selected data.
