Is it possible to move and delete a row in a table?

I'm trying to delete and entire row in tables. I tried right clicking, I hit the delete button, I double clicked, NOTHING.
Is my only option to actually remove the entire row and re-enter the information again? Why are the tables so rigid??

Yes you need to remove the row from the count. As to why, I don't know.

@abuabed84 you can export the table,
then edit it in a spreadsheet program and re-import it into GS.

Wow really? Just to do basic stuff like delete and add row I'd I have to import it to another app?? That's a big disappointment !!

You should be able to press the down arrow next to the row count to decrease the rows by 1. Otherwise you could enter the number of rows you want. If you have 10 rows and you want to get rid of 1 just change the row count to 9. Doing this will remove a row from the very bottom of your table.

If you are trying to delete a row that is in between other rows you're out of luck.

Yes, that's what I'm trying to do. I don't know why the GS team won't add something as basic as deleting a row into table editing!

Tables are inflexible in terms of editing them. You may want to edit in Excel/Google Sheets and then re-import the entire data set instead of trying to work in GameSalad Creator.

My "I had to walk to school in the snow uphill both ways" senior moment is this: when I started using GameSalad, there were no tables. Then read-only tables were introduced (woo hoo!) and finally read/write (awesome!). I do feel your pain, though.
