Creating object using Connection to External Database

gronwmi

I have a "Vendor" object that is created/edited/deleted through a Connection to External Database. This has been working very well. I am now in need of this "Vendor" object to both be created manually, as well as the existing Connection to External Database. Is this possible?

My concern is that I do not want any manually created Vendor objects to update the external data source. I want both the manually created "Vendor" objects to exist in M-Files without impacting any of the "Vendor" objects created by the Connection to External Database. 

As well, I do not want the Connection to External Database to delete any of the existing "Vendor" objects that were created manually in M-Files, and are not present on the import.

    As already mentioned this is not possible: when you configure an external object type with the connection to an external database, that database becomes the master data source and all objects in that object type need to exist in the database. It's not possible to create objects that are only internal to M-Files in that same object type.
