huge mess and manual re-work: "copy current day" to a wrong day! Did this happen to you, too?

Lolinda

It is early in the morning, I am half asleep and it just happened again: I used that super handy copy current day function. But pasted to a wrong day that already had tons of data. So now I am in a "happy" mood for a long manual re-work: mark each and every wrongly copied entry individually, go again and again into the context menu, and select delete, oh and yes, confirm that I really want what I want: yes, delete. Having many dozens of entries per day, this takes long.
Certainly, I do already use the feature to mark days completed, that is, to make them no more editable. But this little nightmare still happens, because, say, the day before yesterday was not yet completely finished.
➞ Software development needed! What do you think what would be the best solution with the lowest software dev effort?
a) How handy it would be if one could delete several entries per day at once! Just mark all entries to be deleted and confirm: "do you really want to delete 60 entries?"
b) undo
c) ...?

Hi Lolinda,

You can multi-select items and delete them all at once - option a) is here for you!

On the website, hold the shift key as you click items you would like to select. Once you have chosen them all hit the delete key to delete them all at once.

On the mobile app, use the settings menu in the top right corner of the diary and select Multi-Select. Tap each item you would like to select, then use the gear icon in the top right corner and select Delete.

We are still interested to hear what everyone would like to see.

Best,

Lolinda

Thanks Karen, and sorrrry for this completely unnecessary post! Indeed, I should have used the mobile app for the cleaning up of the mess! The thing is that due to several issues we discussed before, I always use the web version on my Android phone. Some things just work better there and not so well or not at all on the mobile version. So, following your post, I will try to remember that next time I have this mess again, I can clean it up super fast by switching to the mobile app. Thank you!!!

Hi Lolinda,

Don't forget that you can delete many items at once on the website too!

Best,

Lolinda

Absolutely. On my laptop. - which, however, I never use.

But how should I do a multiselect via shift + clicks when using the website on Android, as I always do?

My apologies @Lolinda! I didn't realize you were accessing the website on your mobile device
