Restrict Edit on Parent, Allow Adding Children

    Is it possible to have a parent/child page, where parent table is not editable, but children can be created/added?

    I have a many-to-many relationship, where specific users have access to an event. They need to be able to add related items to an event, but should not be able to edit the event itself (like the name, date, etc).

    I can reverse this, that is view the items as the parent and associated them one by one to the event. I would like to have it so I can view the event, but edit the associated items, so I could possible bulk add items to the event.

    Hi Bob,

    >>> Is it possible to have a parent/child page, where parent table is not editable, but children can be created/added?

    Currently not. Sorry! But it is on my to do list…

    You might have other options depending the way you are using Data Projects:
    – In the back-end?
    – In the front-end with shortcode wpdadiehard?
    – In the front-end with Data Forms?

    Please let me know…

    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hi Bob,

    You can define per project page if the page needs to be added to the menu or not. If “Add To Menu” is enabled, the page will be added to the dashboard menu of all users having ont the roles added to that page. A quick link is added to the front-end as well. This option needs to be enabled on project level as well.

    Does this help?
