Bind Text Element to selected row's email address

Using the datagrid element, there is a ‘delete’ icon provided in the actions column. When the ‘delete’ icon is clicked, a modal window opens and asks for confirmation where a workflow captures the record id. If confirmed, then a workflow deletes the row (using the selected record id), fetches the collection, and closes the modal window.

Question: how do i bind the text element of the confirmation window to display the selected row’s email address? I am assuming that the formula would be something like:

Users.data[0].email

Except, how do I substitute the ID of 0 with the actual variable used to store the selected row?

  1. You create a helperVariable (of type text I think for ID, or email or whatever)
  2. You add a workflow onclick to your delete icon → set variable value of helperVariable to your data, it should be there from the context
  3. Display the data from helperVariable in your modal or wherever you need.

Your approach worked brilliantly. Thank you so much for the guidance again!

I am new to WeWeb and front-end development (as a whole), but your responses are helping me truly understand common best practices.

I am so thankful for both WeWeb, the app, and the community.
