composite relationship

[forestknutsen1]

I want to have a relationship between two point feature classes. I would like the destination feature to be deleted if the parent is deleted. But I don't want the geometry of the destination to move if the parent is moved. I tried a with a composite relationship with notification forward (origin to destination). This works for the delete but it also updates the geometry.

Set messaging to None.

The deletion happens because it is a composite relationship, regardless of messaging. The messaging takes care of updating geometry (automatic in a composite relationship) and attributes (has to be programmed).
