We have noticed that bypassing the dependency checks extends to the Financial dimensions if departments are used as well. When a department is deleted, any association between Position and Department as a FinDim is deleted too.
Category: Organization management
Steps to reproduce:
1. Organization administration -> Departments -> New -> Save
2. Exit the form -> Active positions -> enter any position -> Edit -> change department to the new department (created in step 1) -> Save
3. Exit the form -> Exit the form -> Departments -> Select the new department (created in step 1) -> Delete -> Yes
4. Exit the form -> Active positions -> open position of step 2. Department field is empty
5. Changes timeline -> Manage changes. You can see the historical change, but the department information has been removed
Expected result:
Warn the user that the department that is being deleted is in use on the positions

Thank you for your suggestion. To help us in our review process, we’re requesting votes from the community to help us understand the importance of this functionality. However, in the meantime you can go to 'Related forms' within the department form and see a list of positions that are related to that department.
