Clearing an object set

[schennam]

Is there an easy way to clear all the objects from an object set in ontology manager?

Hi! There are a couple of ways to do this:

• the backing dataset becomes empty
• you create an action that deletes objects and apply it across the whole object set (the action can be triggered in Object Explorer)

@schennam When you say ‘Object Set’, do you really mean a ‘set’ of objects, as described here: https://www.palantir.com/docs/foundry/api/ontologies-v2-resources/ontology-object-sets/ontology-object-set-basics which is mostly temporary, and can be easily redefined (like the result of a saved search)?

Or do mean all the objects that are the same ‘Object Type’? In which case what @mai125 says is the right solution.

^ this was my approach

I made an action type “delete award(s)”

• i went to form
• i clicked “allow multiple values”
  than while in object explorer you can check lots of boxes at a time

Create a delete action and select the “Allow multiple values” on the action form property.

then go to object explorer and select all items click the delete action
