When the delete entity action is invoked, what is passed to this action?

When the delete entity action is invoked, the primary requirement is to identify the specific record in the database that needs to be removed. The most efficient way to do this is by passing the ID of the record that must be deleted. The ID serves as a unique identifier, allowing the framework to locate the exact record in the database and perform the deletion accurately.

In most case scenarios, using the ID is preferred over passing the entire record or attributes to be deleted, as it reduces overhead and simplifies the deletion process. By only needing to specify the ID, the system can execute the delete action without needing to load the whole record into memory, thus optimizing performance. This understanding of entity actions is essential when managing data in an OutSystems environment.
