Research direction

Start from the React Admin resource edit form and its DeleteButton, then inspect how the available API operations are exposed to that form. Done means the DeleteButton is hidden when the resource has no Delete operation, with the related operation visibility behavior clarified for other operations such as Post and Put.

Description

Description

For many of my resources, I've overridden the ApiResource operations to not include the Delete operation.

The Api Platform React Admin resource edit form still shows the DeleteButton at the right bottom though.

Yes, I can manually override the form and exclude it, but it would be great if the DeleteButton would get hidden if the API does not expose a Delete operation.

This could possibly apply to other operations (e.g. Post, Put?) as well?
