Custom Objects – Association Limits

📌 Overview

You can now configure how many relationships can exist between objects in your Custom Objects setup. This helps prevent over-association and improves data clarity.

We’ve introduced association limits to ensure more structured object management

Note: To enable this feature, go to Settings > Labs > Association Limits Handling, and toggle it on.

✨ What’s New

Association Limits

For multi-label associations:
– One-to-One (1:1)
– One-to-N (where N ≤ 1000)
– One-to-Many
– Many-to-Many

For contact-to-contact (single label):
– One-to-One
– Many-to-Many
– Custom N-to-N

📌 UI Improvements

– Preview of association direction + counts when configuring
– Error messages shown when the limit is reached
– Enforced limits per label, active immediately after saving

🛠 How to Use

1. Open the Edit Association modal on a custom object
2. Select “Single Label” or “Pair of Labels”
3. Configure relationship type and limit.
4. Review the preview panel.
5. Save and test in your object view.

🤔 Why It Matters

– Avoids over-linking between records.
– Helps keep data structures clean.
– Reduces user confusion when the limits are reached with clear UI feedback.
