What will be the outcome if a user tries to delete an entity without specifying which data to delete?

When a user attempts to delete an entity without specifying which particular data to delete, the operation will effectively result in no data being deleted. This is due to the fact that in most database and application frameworks, including Appian, delete operations require explicit instruction regarding the specific records or entities that are targeted. If there is no specification, the system interprets this as a lack of instruction to proceed with any deletion, thus ensuring data integrity and preventing accidental loss of information.

The other outcomes, such as deleting all data, logging the operation, or requesting confirmation, do not typically occur if a delete action is attempted without specifying the data. This reinforces the system's design to maintain safety and clarity in operations related to data management.
