Remove attach button on association panels

[Sandilly]

Hi,

Using the demo as an example, under Users has_many Posts. Is there a way to remove the ability to attach post and only allow the user to create post?

I tried setting the attach_#{resources} in the policies and seemed like it only affected the buttons on the index page of the parent resource.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Hi @Sandilly

You're on the right track! Could you share exactly where and how you've implemented this in your code? That way, we can pinpoint what might be causing the issue.

Thank you for the prompt response! I tried adding the attach_#resources on a association with a through table and that worked, but this doesn't.

avo/resources/users.rb
field :user_posts, as: :has_many, show_on: :edit

avo/resources/user_post.rb
field :user, as: :belongs_to, visible: false

app/models/user.rb
has_many :user_post, dependent: :destroy

app/models/post.rb
belongs_to :user

app/policies/user_policy.rb

def attach_user_posts?
    false
end

Authorization is a pro feature, requiring either a Pro or Advanced license. Given that it worked on the through association, I assume you have the correct license, so that shouldn't be the issue.

Your configuration snippets appear correct, and attach should now be disabled on the user_posts table.

Do other authorization methods work as expected, or are none functioning? (e.g., def create_user_posts? = false, def view_user_posts?, etc.)

Thanks @Paul-Bob for confirming that I am on the right path, it is working. Just some mistakes on my end, appreciate it!

Cool! Anytime, happy coding!
