Hello everyone,
I have a question with regards to the serial codes.
Let us say that I have been using a specific serial code field and my record has multiple subforms.
I know that the main form record and corresponding subform records are linked through this code.
If I happen to decide to delete the record serial number field. Would the links between the main form and subform be lost or mixed between records (main and sub) ?
Hi Ahmed,
Deleting a Serial Number field in ActivityInfo will not result in the loss or mixing of links between a parent form and its subforms. This is because the platform maintains these relationships using unique internal identifiers rather than user-defined fields like serial numbers or codes. While referential integrity ensures that subform records remain correctly attached to their parent records, deleting the field will remove the human-readable ID used for tracking and identification in table views or exports.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the documentation on Using Serial Number fields and Understanding referential integrity.
I hope this helps.
