    Hi all

    There is an event handler to control front end actions. You can use it to prevent a force consolidate. You will find the details here.

    You just need to check the condition (i.e. that it is a force consolidate) and then cancel the action. If you like to inform the user, that force consolidate is disabled, you need to trigger an error and control the error message.

    But use it careful, you can stop the front-end from working correctly, because a bug prevents functions that trigger the event handler to fail.

    I just spent 10 hours yesterday fixing just this issue.  Someone accidently hit Force Consol vs Consol.  There should be a second prompt at minimum saying are you sure on any Force.  Hopefully it is on the list of improvements.

      Thanks for sharing this information Christian.  I am getting a access denied error when I click on the link you provided above.  Do you know what kind of access I need to see it?
