Grayed out Remove Dependency in Unmanaged Solution

(6) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 38
I created an n:n self-referential relationship on a custom table (Deal) in an unmanaged solution.
 
 
That had some unexpected navigational consequences (e.g., two confusingly, identically-labeled Related tabs called "Deals" in the main form that appear to be directional in nature {i.e., Related To and Related From}).
 
 
I want to delete the n:n relationship and create a 1:n relationship instead, but even after deleting the Associated Deals subgrid and section in the main form (the only thing I added that used the relationship), the relationship still shows a dependency on the main form, but the Remove Dependency option is grayed out everywhere leaving me with only the option to Delete the main form and recreate it—something I desperately don't want to do.
 
 
Does anyone have any idea how I can remove this dependency so I can delete the undesired relationship?

    Have you deleted the relationship itself on your table? Go to the Relationships section and remove the self-referential N:N. Once that has been done, the dependency should be cleared out without any further action needed on your side.
     
    As a note, removing the dependency through the "Check Dependencies" menu has been unreliable at best in my experience. Always use it to see where the dependencies are but then clear them out in their own section of the Maker Portal (forms, columns, relationships, processes, etc.).

    That is what I am attempting to do and the system will not allow me to delete the relationship because of this dependency. Any thoughts on how to tell it to delete the relationship anyway? I have System Administrator and System Customizer roles, so I should be able to delete anything I want, but that isn't working out.
