### Is there an existing issue for this?

- [X] I have searched the existing issues

### Current Behavior

assume:

this will only execute delete for a:key but not even error for b:key2 or c:key3

### Expected Behavior

it should delete all 3 elements

### Steps To Reproduce

1. Go to '...'

3. Run '...'
4. See error...
