Can't Delete Records Once In Workflow
I can't seem to delete some records when they are in the middle of a workflow?
When trying to delete the record, I get the "This record cannot be deleted, because it is referred to by other records" error message.
I have this problem for records that are 'subscribed' to by another parent record in Workflow, but also for single records that are in a non-exiting state.
I've tried adding a button to transition to EXIT the workflow if I need to delete the record, but I does not seem to help.
Do the record references created between an individual record and its workflow mean that once a record entered a workflow, that it can never be deleted?
