I want to disable the delete copy move and all the other options for the child components

Lets imagine I have the following components in my AEM project [Using AEM as Cloud]

Component A

Component B

Component C

Now I want to create a new component (Component D) which contains Component A,B and some additional new things. I have added Component A and B using cq:template. SO when we add component D to the page the child nodes for component A and B will be automatically created. 

 

Everything is working as expected till now. I can edit the properties of A and B individually using edit toolbar. But I want to disable the delete copy and paste options for the embedded component A and B.

So is there any way to disable/remove delete copy and paste options for child component ?

I found a solution given by @gaurav-behl but I am not able to open the link Gaurav if possible can u please look into it and provide the solution since you know the solution. Or anyone knows the solution please provide it

in Component A and B Node Configuration:

 

Within the jcr:content nodes of Component A and Component B (under Component D's structure), add the cq:actions property.Set cq:actions to exclude the actions you want to disable.

 

cq:actions = ["edit"]

 

 

By setting it to only "edit", you will restrict the toolbar to show only the edit action, effectively hiding delete, copy, and paste actions.

      Hi @arunpatidar  , I found your assistance incredibly helpful. It would greatly enhance the utility if this approach could be applied to different components rather than just the container component. I really appreciate your support. Thank you so much.

      Hi @vinithm3 
      It can be used with any component, you just need to add container component as supertype

      Example : Text-and-Image component
