Hi Breton,
it´s not completely clear what you do. Do you have a two TOC entries? One for the main ItemType and a second one for displaying the NULL-relationships?

Hi Breton,
NULL relationships are not intended to be edited outside the scope of the source item. But of course it´s sometimes useful.
You mentioned you have two permissions. Do you as admin have given yourself "update" permission when the Items are in "Validated"? If yes, that´s your problem
E.g. compare it to "Part Cost" which is a NULL relationship used in Part. The ItemType is uses the source permissions "New Part" and "Released Part".
For Released Parts it´s important, that users don´t have "Delete" AND(!!!) "Update" permission. As soon as "Update" is enabled, users can also delete the NULL relationship, even if delete itself is disabled.. Not sure if this is a bug, but that´s how it is in my I12.
As alternative don´t use Source permission give the NULL relationship an independent Lifecycle. You then have to promote the Null-relationship permission when your parent item is promoted.
If you have a subscription, maybe ask Aras about this one. I would also be interested in knowing the "correct" way to deal with NULL-relationships.

hello, thanks for your reply !
ok, agree with you : use NULL relation outside the scope of the source item is not "clean", but I've a specific need.
yes, I will check with ARAS.
Thanks
