Create a real-time workflow that triggers on Delete and in this workflow call a child background workflow to change the status to inactive.

And then call the Stop Workflow with Cancelled state with message to say record cannot be deleted and it will be deactivated.

@Kokulan - it looks like as soon as we stop the workflow with error -it rollback everything or stop the trnsaction. Hence the record will not be update to inactivate.

I have tried to make the child workflow as background to deactivate the record but it doesnt work.

@Shahbaaz. I think you need to use a simple plugin.

register your plugin pre-operation of delete

and check if status =active

{

update the status to inactive

service.Execute(new SetStateRequest

{

EntityMoniker = new EntityReference("contact", contactId),

State = new OptionSetValue(1),

Status = new OptionSetValue(-1)

});

then throw invalidpluginexecutionexception which will stop the deletion.

}

Thanks rawish for the reply, from my understanding if you throw exception from plugin pre operation, it will also rollback all your change's.

Please correct me if i am wrong.

Hi,

why dont you remove the delete privilege from security role and educate your user to use deactivate button.

Sorry , I got your point now. There is two scenario for two status (Active and Inactive )so you can create two real time workflow .

First workflow look like below -

If Status equal Active

Update case to Inactive

In that case you will get same message that inactive record can not delete.

Second workflow will be look like above which I shared , stop deletion of inactive reocords.
