Delete a token from localization table

[KN_9954684]

Hi,

LocalizationTables["es"].DeleteToken({
name: "1-Fire Defect Code 38#" /* STRING */
});

Unable to delete token which is in es table using delete token service

This token has been create using service AddorupdateToken on es table.

Error in script logs :  Error executing service DeleteToken. Message :: Token [[1-Fire Defect Code 38#]] not found 

But this token is present in es table but not in Default table.Please help me with this.

});

Actually some of the tokens have token value in that language but not in Default langauage.

So those tokens are not existing in Default localization table

when you add a new token to a non-Default localization from Composer, you are required to set the "Default Token Value". This is because tokens added to non-Default localization are expected to also have a Default value. This is explained in ThingWorx Help Center as below.

• A default localization table is provided in ThingWorx. If a language-specific translation is not provided, the default localization definition for the token is used.
• When you define a new localization token, you must define it in the default table and provide a default value. 

However, it seems service AddorupdateToken DOES NOT follow above rule. It has only 2 parameters: token name, token value. If you run this service with non-Default localization, the new token will not have a Default value, either be visible in Default localization.

LocalizationTables["**"].AddOrUpdateToken({
	name: "xxx" /* STRING */,
	value: "yyy" /* STRING */
});

For such token, you can only delete it with its original localizatoin, not able to delete from Default.

LocalizationTables["**"].DeleteToken({name: "xxx" /* STRING */});

Above actions were all tested with ThingWorx 9.4.0.
