Cannot Delete Component (Dependency Loop)

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JDMCRM 1,799

Hi, 

I appear to be stuck in a loop where I can't delete an entity because of dependent components. However, I also can't delete the dependent components because they rely on each other.

When I try and delete the custom entity "Attendees" I get an error saying there are two dependencies:

1. Entity relationship with another custom entity "Event Subscriptions".

2. Site Map.

When I then go to remove the relationship with "Event Subscriptions" I get an error saying that this is dependent on the "Event Subscription" Form.

I can't remove the form. 

 

So how do I go about deleting the entity?

    Hi JD,

    Is there any lookup field in Event Subscription(relationship with attendees) Form?

    If there remove it and after delete the relationship

    Hope this helps.

    I have tried deleting it, but it comes back and says the Attendee Form is now dependent on that field. I can't figure out why that would be the case

    I think I've figured it out. I forgot I had put a sub grid on the form at the bottom that must have been drawing data from Attendees. The field has now been deleted so I'm going to see now if I can follow the path and delete everything.

    I know this is an old thread but I hope someone is still monitoring this as I have a similar issue on my hands. Someone wanted me to try to tie the competitor entity to the account entity. I started by creating an N:N relationship between the two which was fine. Then I tried adding a subgrid to the main accounts form. That worked but all it did was give me a list of all of the competitors in the system. So, I deleted the subgrid from the form and it's now gone. However, when I try to delete the N:N relationship between accounts and competitors I can't because it says the form is still dependent on that relationship - even though there are no fields (that I can see) that are trying to reference that relationship. Any thoughts?
