Hi,

I hope, at some point the issue of orphan posts can be addressed. For me it's a big problem, not knowing what my users might do.
In a many2many relationship, at least where the intermediary is visible (necessary in my case to create the view I need) if the parent is deleted one is left with orphans. Finding these intermediary posts to delete them is no easy task.

Thanks,
Scott.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - there is no such feature available until you run a custom script to delete the posts but still please allow me to check with our Devs is there any way or we can take it as a new feature request.

I've reported this issue to our Devs and they are checking what they can do here.

I'll get in touch with you with updates as soon as I know more.
