Is there a way in Para to delete multiple Data Types? I'm thinking of a situation like deleting all of the default data types that are in Para whenever a new project is created.
In addition, is there a way when importing an ASCII file to have it remove all of the data types and data points in PARA and replace it all with the imported ASCII file? So if there were a data type or data point that was in the current Para, but was not in the ASCII file, it would be deleted after importing.
ETA: I know I could do it manually or through a script. I would like to know if I can do it using the Para panel.
Thanks!

Re: Deleting Multiple Data Types and Data Points
Hello,
there is not standard-functionality available at the para-module to delete several datapoint-types and their datapoints in one step.
Also it is not possible to delete datapoint-types/datapoints with an ASCII-import.
Please notice that you might have to delete addiitional information at internal datapoints when deleting the datapoints which are part of the standard-database.
E.g. dynamic datapoints "_dt_" defined at the internal datapoint-type _DynamicDatapoints.
Why do you want to delete the standard datapoints?
