Restrict release of parent item when child items are not present

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am testing a lifecycle definition for items and I noticed a strange behavior. I don't know if it is by design or if I am setting up my transitions wrong, but I am able to release a parent item when one or more of its child items don't exist.

For example, I have an Inventor assembly named Assembly and it uses parts named Part 1, Part 2 & Part 3.

I assign an item for Assembly, which creates items for the parts as well. I then delete, say, Part 1's item and I am still able to release Assembly's item. Is there any way to prevent this? Attached is a screenshot of the actions used in this transition.

Thank you.

No, there is no way to prevent it. it only knows about Items that exists and it doesn't exist if you deleted it.
