Editable Tables: Ability to delete all rows with one click

Currently if an Editable Table goes across multiple pages in a report users can't delete all rows at once. They need to do the following:

  1. select the first cell
  2. press the 'shift' key
  3. select the last cell
  4. right-click
  5. click 'delete row'
  6. press the 'save' button
  7. repeat steps 1-6 for each page of data

We have Editable Tables that are >300 rows and users need to completely refresh the data each month which means they need to go through the above 6 times as the report is showing 50 rows per page.

We could show all 300 rows on a single page but this slows the performance of the Editable Table.

It would be great if there was a 'delete all rows' function that could quickly clear the Editable Table. This could either be a button down the bottom next to the 'add row' button or as part of the right-click menu.

    The Delete All Rows feature was released with Server 12.11.3 / Client 2.3.   With Delete All Rows, the rows still exist in the bitemporal database which allows history to still be visible.

    A related Truncate feature in the data pipeline step was released with Server 12.11.4 / Client 2.4.   With Truncate, all rows are permanently removed from the SQL table.
