What are the minimum parameters required to delete an author record using the Delete Records smart service?

• A. a!entityDataIdentifiers(entity: cos!ABC_DES_SUTHORS, identifiers: pv!author[recordType!SSH Author.fields.id])
• B. a!entityDataIdentifiers(entity: cos!ABC_DES_SUTHORS, identifiers: pv!author[recordType!SSH Author.fields.uuid])
• C. a!entityDataIdentifiers(entity: cos!ABC_DES_SUTHORS, identifiers: pv!author[recordType!SSH Author.fields.name])
• D. a!entityDataIdentifiers(entity: cos!ABC_DES_SUTHORS, identifiers: pv!author[recordType!SSH Author.fields.email])

Answer: (A)

To delete a specific author record, you must identify the exact record you want to remove. The Delete Records smart service uses an identifier list to locate records in an entity, so you need a unique key from that entity. Using the author’s id field provides a unique, stable reference to the exact row in the cos!ABC_DES_SUTHORS entity. The expression passes the entity and a single identifier created from the author’s id (pv!author[recordType!SSH Author.fields.id]), which is the minimal and most reliable way to specify the record to delete. Other fields like uuid, name, or email might not be unique or consistently present, risking incorrect deletions or failures.
