Can I trap the delete event and change it to an update

pzh20

I want to be able to trap a delete operation and turn it into an update where I flag a field to say it's no longer in use. This is for historical data where they are not current but cannot be deleted.

Regards

What you would do is not use a delete action, but rather an edit that is just visually labeled "Delete" for the end user.

Have a look at the edit() documentation, and the examples towards the end of the page which show you you can trigger it programmatically (if you want to do that).

I should have thought of that.

Many thanks
