Hey Community 
I’m trying to enable record deactivation on an object that inherits from BaseEntity. The object is also used as a lookup in several other objects. From the documentation it looks like the “Allow records deactivation” option is only available for BaseLookup objects.

Has anyone found a reusable approach—perhaps a utility class —that lets a BaseEntity behave like a deactivatable lookup? I’m aware I could add an IsActive Boolean column, but that would require adding filter logic everywhere the object is referenced, which I’d rather avoid.

Any pointers or examples would be greatly appreciated.
