How to do a 1:1 relationship

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:54AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 5 comments

This may be an absolutely stupid question due to my own lack of recollection but I want to create a field on a record (A) that sources/links to another record (B) and have record B show record A is linked to it.

Now I know a parent/child list/record field will do this but the problem I have is that I want a strict 1:1 relationship. This is doable on the child record as it is a single list record that can be selected, however on the parent record, buttons for 'New' and 'Attach' allow someone to add more than a single record. Is there any way to stop this or hide these buttons? Also, if the record is already linked preventing it from linking again by another child record?

Howdy, Stranger!
