10/14/2020, 5:16 PMI am currently maintaining parent child relationship for custom record using vendor center login. The challenge is when I view the record, users are getting option to REMOVE the child record linking. I cannot remove the ALLOW child record editing as uncheck because that won't allow me to create new record. How can I restrict users from removing the linked child records

10/14/2020, 5:47 PMHave you tried making the field that does the join mandatory?

10/14/2020, 5:49 PMright - but when you click the remove button - it clears that field - making it "blank" which results in a background error

10/14/2020, 5:49 PMmake sure you make it mandatory both on your custom form if you have one, and on the field itself

10/14/2020, 5:51 PMI am not aware of a way to do that. Wish I did though.

10/14/2020, 5:52 PMIt's got to be possible - most likely via client script to hide the button I imagine

10/14/2020, 5:52 PMI just don't know how it's done

We've done this in the past:

10/14/2020, 8:01 PMNot that it's the worst thing in the world if it's simple - but just that if stuff ever starts going sideways, it's not supported and could make for a messy support interaction if they figure out you are doing it.
