Currently paragraph entities are not deleted when a host entity removes the field item, or even when host entities are deleted.
This leads to 2 issues:
- Usage records pointing to "orphan" paragraph entities are left in the database
- The list usage page shows those entities in the UI
I believe the first issue should be fixed in paragraphs/entity_reference_revisions (there's a billion issues about it already), but we should at least make sure the orphan/garbage usage in the DB is not shown to users.
While building the usage page, if the source entity is a paragraph, only show the usage if the parent exists and it's still referencing the paragraph.
Fixed
2.0
Code
Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
We need this functionality, since the orphan handling implementation is going to be addressed in 3.x version.
I've re-rolled the patch
Hello @arthur.baghdasar, this issue is fixed and closed since a long time ago. The 2.x branch does not display orphan paragraphs on the usage listing page. Feel free to open a new bug report if you experience is different than that.
Thanks!
