Deactivate the parent record and the related active child records

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by EBMRay 905

Hello,

Upon deactivation of the parent record in a table, I want to deactivate all the child records related to the parent. as I want to set their status to Inactive.

I believe there is no OOB feature that does that and it requires a custom plugin/workflow.

What will be logic to get all child records related to the parent entity in a query from different tables and deactivate them in bulk?

Can someone provide an example or documentation guidance to achieve the above?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

EBMRay

    Hello,

    If you're ok with Async processing I would say the easiest way to design the Power Automate flow. You can see a good example here - carinaclaesson.com/.../

    If you want this to happen in a sync way you will have to use a plugin - himbap.com/.../
