Softlinks
Consider using a softlink if two records are related and referred to together but are not updated together.
Softlinked records are obtained whenever required and have the following attributes.
- You cannot propagate data down to softlinked records.
- Querying softlinked records using the SOAP GetRecord service does not return any soft linked records.
- Softlinked records are not validated when the root record changes.
Despite these limitations, softlinks are an effective way to relate records together in a fast, efficient manner.
