Prevent record creation in parent table

[Darshan8]

Hi All,

I have a child and a parent table. A workflow script is supposed to create a record on the child table but it does create the record on the parent table as well. I tried writing a before-business rule on the parent table to prevent the record creation on the parent table but it is also blocking the record creation in the child table. Script below:

(function executeRule(current, previous /*null when async*/ ) {

    var preventCreation = current.isNewRecord();

    if (preventCreation) {

//return false; this statement is still creating the record.

        current.setAbortAction(true);

    }

@Darshan8 You can't prevent this from happening this is an OOTB behaviour and a parent table will always have record from the child tables. If you try to prevent this by a business rule the record would not get created on the child table at all.
