Effect of Deleting Records on Lookup Fields
What happens to lookup fields when a custom object record is deleted?
When a custom object record is deleted in Zendesk, lookup fields retain their values even though they appear empty in the agent workspace.
This means that while the record itself is permanently removed and cannot be recovered, any associated lookup fields will still hold their previous values, which can be useful for maintaining data integrity in related records.
