Deleting Instance from a single container.

​@Arild Eide will you be able to help out here?

Hi ​@Leandro de Lima Almeida 

I am not confident that I read your use-case correctly. But in general: 

• Deleting an instance will remove its instance id (space, externalId) and all its properties.
• You can certainly create a new view Foo and apply a view filter that filters out FooExtension data (for instance a negated exists filter on a property or a hasData filter (if there are any required properties)
• Deleting the FooExtension container will delete property values for all instances, if this is acceptable you can do so and update the view filter using a hasData on the Foo container. Instances and property values in the Foo container will be retained.

Hope this helps. Let us know if not.

Hi Arild and Mithila,

Thank you for the explanation — I appreciate the details you shared. I realize I may not have expressed my question clearly, as I was hoping to explore something a little different from what’s in the documentation.

I’ve included the diagram below to help illustrate what I’m trying to achieve.

(edit)
I think the answer will be the same, but the question is the same for the view with implements.

Hi again ​@Leandro de Lima Almeida 

When you write the (ABC,123) instance through ViewC this instance will have data in the containers mapped by ViewC. There is no way to delete an instance’s data for certain containers only. If you read the instance throug a view that does not map any property from Container C these properties will not be exposed to the client.

Alternatively, you may consider deleting and recreating the instance.

This would be a very useful feature for us in Aker Solutions as well. We have at times a need remove an instance from a view, but keep it in another. As of now, we cannot do this. I assume this would be done by nulling out all values of properties in the view, but we do not have any tools to do this.
