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

 

Regards

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.

      If you’re adding this property to Component D's template definition or its children, ensure you’re targeting the embedded instances of Components A and B.

       

      Navigate to ComponentD > jcr:content where Component A and B are defined and add cq:actions directly to each of those child nodes.
