Thanks Ramsey, This is a completely standalone table with no relationships that contains one record with a couple attributes that define the configuration of the app. I was so deep into doing everything without programming that I missed the obvious. Your answer triggered the following solution: Having a simple page with a message and only a CANCEL button for the Create* pageConfiguration should solve my problem.
Thanks Ramsey, it is not the first time that your input has helped me further.💐 ---markus--- On 29.08.2011, at 17:18, Ramsey Gurley wrote: > > On Aug 29, 2011, at 6:32 AM, Markus Ruggiero wrote: > >> Quick D2W question: >> >> isEntityEditable, isEntityDeletable, isEntityInspectable are all fine, but >> is there something like isEntityNewable? >> >> In other words: I have an entity with exactly one record that contains some >> global parameters to my app. The user must be able to update that one record >> but he must not be able to add a new record, there must be exactly one >> record with the same primary key at all times.
