Yes/No Toggle that Delete's Item
AP_TC_ECASD In that case, you can use the simple JSON like:
{ "_comment": "Toggle Buttons", "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json", "elmType": "div", "attributes": { "iconName": "Delete", "class": "ms-fontColor-red" }, "style": { "cursor": "pointer", "font-size": "35px", "display": "=if(@currentField,'none','block')" }, "customRowAction": { "action": "delete" } }Also, delete confirmation popup will be shown by default - this is default functionality (or limitation) of SharePoint JSON formatting which we cannot customize.
If you need a delete button against each row without confirmation, you cannot do it using JSON formatting. You will have to use the SPFx field customizer for such requirements - code/development experience is required.

AP_TC_ECASD Why don't you create a separate button/icon for deleting the list item (which will be shown only when column value is "No")?
Because I don't think you can add multiple actions in customRowAction in one element.
If you want to add delete button in same column JSON, you can use:
{
"_comment": "Toggle Buttons",
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "div",
"style": {
"position": "relative"
},
"children": [
{
"elmType": "div",
"attributes": {
"iconName": "ToggleFilled",
"class": "=if(@currentField,'ms-fontColor-greenLight','ms-fontColor-gray40')"
},
"style": {
"font-size": "60px"
}
},
{
"elmType": "div",
"attributes": {
"iconName": "=if(@currentField,'ToggleRight','ToggleLeft')",
"class": "=if(@currentField,'ms-fontColor-green','ms-fontColor-gray120') + ' ms-fontColor-[PLACEHOLDER9]--hover','')"
},
"style": {
"cursor": "pointer",
"font-size": "60px",
"position": "absolute",
"top": "0",
"left": "0"
},
"customRowAction": {
"action": "setValue",
"actionInput": {
"Skyward": "=if(@currentField,0,1)"
}
}
},
{
"elmType": "div",
"attributes": {
"iconName": "Delete",
"class": "ms-fontColor-red"
},
"style": {
"cursor": "pointer",
"margin-left": "15px",
"font-size": "35px",
"top": "0",
"left": "0",
"display": "=if(@currentField,'none','block')"
},
"customRowAction": {
"action": "delete"
}
}
]
}
Where Skyward is an internal name of your Yes/No column in SharePoint list. You can get the internal name of your SharePoint list columns by following this article: How to find the Internal name of columns in SharePoint Online?
Output:
If you don't want to have one additional button click to delete the item, you will have to do the deletion using Power automate flow on item modification - in that case, there may be some delay in view refresh after item is deleted.

Hi ganeshsanap!
Ultimately, I'm not held to having the toggle at all. If there was just that delete button and it worked to delete the row, that would be the best scenario for the users who will be using it. I'm just looking for a way for the user to easily delete the row with a click of a button without having the confirmation and all that.
What are your thoughts?

ganeshsanap That's kind of what I've read and I think I can accomplish what I need with a Power Automate flow that ties into that button. I'll consider my options but you've been very helpful! Thank you so much!
