Architect dependency error when deleting a shared Data Table

You cannot delete a Data Table if any active Architect flow references it.

In CXone, Studio scripts have a similar dependency lock, but the platform gives you a clear list of which scripts are blocking the deletion. In Genesys Cloud, the error message is frustratingly vague - it just says ‘dependency exists’ without telling you which of your 200 flows is referencing the table.

The workaround is to use the dependency API before attempting deletion.

Hit GET /api/v2/flows?type=inboundcall and search each flow’s configuration for references to the Data Table’s ID. In CXone, you’d search the Studio XML. In GC, you query the flow metadata. It is tedious but it is the only reliable approach until Genesys improves the error messaging.
