Class Account has reference Task and rule:

If Account.NextContact IS UNDEFINED AND SystemSettings.DaysToNextContact IS DEFINED Then
CREATE Task WITH Task.Account=Account, Task.AddedBy=LoggedInSystemUser, Task.AssignedTo=Account.AssignedTo, Task.Details='Next Contact for account: ' + Account.AccountID, Task.Kind='Business', Task.Type='Contact', Task.Status='to do', Task.TargetDate=CURRENT_DATE+SystemSettings.DaysToNextContact, Task.TargetTime='8.00 AM'

The makes a new Task and adds it to the Account as expected.

But if the user hits the Cancel button and the Account is not created I'm left with a redundant Task record.

I don't see how to avoid this and display the referenced task in a newly created Account.

Also, it should not be necessary since the relevant Task is owned by Account
thanks,

Terry

Terry,

This is on our TODO list. In the future the system will include functionality to automatically delete any owned instances that were never linked to an owner.
