Streamlined Removal of Relationships Before Custom Object Deletion
Deleting custom objects with existing relationships is now more straightforward. When attempting to delete a custom object referenced by lookup fields in other standard objects, custom objects, or Data Cloud data model objects (DMOs), you’ll see a detailed page listing these relationships.
Key Features:
- Clear visibility of objects with lookup fields referencing the object you want to delete.
- Displays the Object API Name (hyperlinked for direct navigation) and the Field API Name of the referencing lookup field.
- Direct link to the related object to easily remove the relationship.
- Provides a help link for removing relationships from Data Cloud DMOs.
How To Use It:
1. Attempt to delete a custom object that has lookup relationships with other objects.
2 Review the detailed page listing the referencing objects and fields.
3. Click the hyperlinked Object API Name to navigate to the related object. Locate and remove the relevant lookup field.
4. For Data Cloud DMO relationships, follow the provided help link.
