I am new to using Directus. And I am wondering if this idea is possible and if not, can someone explain why.
Currently, when you go to files select multiple items then delete. The request is canceled when one or more files are associated with a collection that has “Prevent deletion” meaning, the other files you selected will also be not deleted.
My idea is what if for example you selected files
FILES #1 → unused #2 → related to the collection with “prevent deletion” #3 → related to collection
File #1 and #3 will be deleted and then for the rest of the items maybe a modal will appear that tells the user that some of the selected items are not deleted for “this example reason”.
As you mentioned, this isn’t the default behavior in Directus. Since this would require changes to Directus Core, I’d encourage you to submit a feature request on our GitHub repository.
When you create the request, make sure to include:
A clear description of the current behavior vs. desired behavior
Your use case and why this would be helpful
Any mockups or examples if applicable
The core team reviews all feature requests and considers them for future releases based on community interest and alignment with the product roadmap.
