Custom Objects – Association Limits
Overview
You can now configure how many relationships can exist between objects in your Custom Objects setup. This helps prevent over-association and improves data clarity.
We’ve introduced association limits to ensure more structured object management
Note
: To enable this feature, go to Settings > Labs > Association Limits Handling, and toggle it on.
What’s New
Association Limits
For multi-label associations:
- One-to-One (1:1)
- One-to-N (where N ≤ 1000)
- One-to-Many
- Many-to-Many
For contact-to-contact (single label):
- One-to-One
- Many-to-Many
- Custom N-to-N
UI Improvements
- Preview of association direction + counts when configuring
- Error messages shown when the limit is reached
- Enforced limits per label, active immediately after saving
How to Use
- Open the Edit Associationmodal on a custom object
- Select “Single Label” or “Pair of Labels”
- Configure relationship type and limit.
- Review the preview panel.
- Save and test in your object view.
Why It Matters
- Avoids over-linking between records.
- Helps keep data structures clean.
- Reduces user confusion when the limits are reached with clear UI feedback.
