Clarify "Delete" vs "Detach" Actions in Object Detail View

[asdev29]

Problem Description

In the detail view of an object, there are options to "Detach" or "Delete" related fields. The current UI/UX implementation can cause confusion because:

• Users may mistake "Delete" as an action to only break the relationship between the current object and the related object.
• Clicking "Delete" completely removes the related object without any warning or confirmation.
• This leads to unintended data loss, where other objects that were related to the deleted object lose their relationship as well.

Steps to Reproduce

• Navigate to the detail view of an object with related fields.
• Click the "Delete" option for a related field.
• Observe that the related object is permanently deleted without any confirmation, and all other objects lose their relationship with it.
  

Proposed Solution

• Introduce a confirmation popup for the "Delete" action.
• The popup should clearly warn the user that:

• The related object will be permanently deleted.
• The deletion will also break all relationships with other objects linked to the related object.

• Example confirmation message:
  "Are you sure you want to delete this related object? This action is irreversible and will break its relationship with all other associated objects."
• Consider improving the UI to make the "Detach" and "Delete" options more distinct (e.g., different button styles or placement).

Correction: it is not permanently deleted - it can be restored - but all other relationships with this object are not restored

Hi @asdev29, thanks for raising the issue. I agree with your point. Let's add a confirmation modal when "Delete" is pressed!

Title: Delete Related Object_singular e.g. Object_singular: Companies
Description: "Are you sure you want to delete this related Object_singular? This action will break all its relationships with other objects."
