Hi there

If I use the directors of the current period in combination with a mapped account in a template, the users are able to overwrite the amount of the account, but also to delete it if it’s wrong. If they delete this line, the director and the amount are deleted in the template (which is correct), but also in the general company information. This should be avoided of course, but how…  
I’ve tried already to but the period directors into another variable through using assign and displaying that variable, but still it deletes the director in the general company information if you delete it in the template. So currently I’m looping over the active directors and I put the active directors into another variable, but it doesn’t help.  
Can someone help me out?

Thanks! 🙂

Hi @JelleBe ,

I’m wondering what exactly you mean by ‘_If I use the directors of the current period in combination with a mapped account_’. Can you show me this codewise?

In Silverfin, however, it’s always the case that if you click the bin for a certain field of an iteration in your collection (for example the name of a director in your people collection ), that iteration (=director) will be removed.

Kind regards,

Michiel

This is quiet a lot. But It thought if I do a loop over the directors and place them into another variable in this template, that I can delete the information without deleting the directors in the general company info. Isn’t this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @JelleBe ,

Please keep in mind we have some [standards available](https://community.silverfin.com/t/how-to-paste-your-code-in-a-community-post/64) on how to post your code on the community.

A solution to your problem is to create a custom variable that is using the persistent id of a person as a variable part in the name. The persistent id of a person in the people drop remains the same over time (unlike the person.id which changes over time and therefor might lead to rollforwarding issues).

The advantage of this solution is that each director will have a variable that is uniquely linked to him/her but it will not remove the director from the people collection when the renumeration variable is cleared!

```auto
{% for director in period.directors %}
  | {{ director.name }}
  {% capture person_id %}person_{{ director.persistent_id }}{% endcapture %}
  | {% input custom.[person_id].renumeration %}
{% endfor %}

```

Kind regards,  
Michiel

Thanks Michiel for the tips & tricks.

We will have to revise the code and try it with yours. Thanks.

Kind regards
