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.
