Prevent records from being created on extends table

[Justin Abbott]

Here is my situation...

I have created a new custom table, called Issues. When I created the Issues table, I selected another custom table, Technology Service, as the 'Extends table'. Now, whenever a new record is created on the Issues table, the record is being created on the Technology Service table.

Is there a way to prevent records from being created on the extends table, and just insert the record on the original table? Or is there a way to remove the extends relationship?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So when you extend a table, any new record on the new table will show up on the extended table.   Think of the 'my work' list on the Task table, Incident extends task, so all new incidents will show up on the task table.   As far as breaking the extension, I don't think you can, you would have to delete and recreate the table.   The other thing you could do is create a type field on the parent table with the choice of Issues, and Technology Service, and then filter on that.
