Web Editor not respecting edit settings/permissions for the related table

I am just getting started with Web Editor.   I think it could be a great app for editing by our non-GIS staff.  However, in my testing it appears that Web Editor is not respecting the edit settings of the feature service when a related table is involved.   My feature service is set to disallow Delete so that staff can only add or update features and records but not delete them.    Web Editor respects these settings for the features and their attributes, but is not respecting it for the related table records.   

 In Web Editor, the delete icon is disabled in the map and in the form for editing the attributes of a selected feature.  But if I scroll to the bottom of the attribute form and select a related record, the form for editing the related record includes a delete icon.     

This is a non-starter for us.   We want to limit the permission to make deletions to the data owner only. 

Does anyone else have the same problem?   Is there a way to disable the DELETE option for the related table records?

Hi @RuthSpell1, Thank you for bringing this up! I can see that the Delete button is enabled for records as you mentioned and we are getting this fixed 😊

Is the user (non owner /administrator) able to actually delete the table record, or does the the form refresh with the record still there?

Hi, I can recreate this in ArcGIS Online. To me, it seems like a bug. I would recommend you to report it to technical support.

Ah, you are correct....    When I delete the related table record, the form refreshes with the record still there.  I also exited Web Editor and checked in the web map and the record was still there.   So it is not actually deleting the record.   

Thanks for your attention to this!

Of course! This should be resolved in the next update of Web Editor. Appreciate you flagging this!
