It’s funny the doc actually mention ‘relationship’ 
What Progress need to do is to first mark the darn thing as *deprecated* in the doc, then think about actually implementing foreign-key relationship so then this can be activated back… that will be the only case when the 4GL might make it easier while not helping one shoot himself in the foot. I really don’t understand why they would look for unique indexes in both parent/child tables and matching on the name and don’t care about the data type isn’t probably the best decision either… but then again we only infer relationships using best guess when we load a definition file so we definitively lack experience here
