#SalesforceSummer25 – Easily Identify & Remove Relationships Before Deleting a Custom Object

#1MinuteTip #SalesforceSummer25 When you attempt to delete a custom object, if another standard object, custom object, or a Data Cloud data model object (DMO) contains a lookup field that references that custom object, you’ll now see a more detailed page.

This page includes a table that lists the objects that have relationships and now shows you the object API name and the field API name.

The object API name is hyperlinked so you can go directly to the object and remove the relationship. If the object that contains the relationship field is a Data Cloud DMO, you can follow the provided help link to complete the process of removing the relationship.

Product Area: Platform

Here, I’m trying to delete a custom object named “Project,” and the page displays the API names of objects and fields that have a lookup or master-detail relationship to the Project object. Clicking on the object name will take you directly to the object so that you can remove the relationship.
