    Is there a way to bulk delete form entries? I can only do it successfully by checking the top box to select all in the displayed list and deleting, but that only does a few at a time. When I try to use the filter to select a date range and/or entry number range, then select delete and ‘apply’, it does not delete the selected range.

    When you have hundreds of entries or more, deleting one page at a time is very slow and cumbersome. There should be a way to delete in bulk.

    Hello @jamminjames

    Hope you are doing well today.

    When I try to use the filter to select a date range and/or entry number range, then select delete and ‘apply’, it does not delete the selected range.

    When you delete the form entries in submissions tab, you need to select the entries and click on delete under bul acion, please note that it will only remove 10 entries each time you can’t remove a range.

    You can use the bulk action option, in forminator -> forms and select delete submissions.

    It will allow you to delete all submissions for a specific form.

    Another option is to enable data retention in the Forminator settings under the submissions section. This will allow you to automatically remove submissions that are older than a specified date.

    P.S. What is the select range for, anyway? Once you select a range, what can you do with them? It should be an option to delete a range of posts.

    Hello @jamminjames

    The primary purpose of the Date Range feature in submissions is to help filter the output and facilitate the export of submissions.

    I will bring your request to our team’s attention as a feature suggestion. However, I cannot guarantee that it will be reviewed and implemented.

    Best Regards
    Amin
