Custom Record Type Fields that Affect Parent-Child Relationship on Custom Record
The following fields on the custom record definition page affect the functionality of the parent-child relationship on instances of custom records. For more information about these fields, see:
Show Remove Link – When cleared, child record sublist Remove links are not visible on the parent record, which prevents users from separating child records from the parent record.
Allow Child Record Editing – When checked, users can directly edit record instances of this custom record type when they display as children in a sublist on a parent record.
Allow Delete – When checked, users can delete record instances of this type when they appear as child records in a sublist on a parent record.
Hierarchy – When checked, users can create parent-child relationships between records of the same custom record type. To do so, create a custom field which will be used to establish the relationship between the custom records, as described in Hierarchy of Parent-Child Instances of Same Record Type.
