Why this is a good first issue

The issue involves framework limitations and permission handling, requiring deeper understanding.

AI Summary

The issue highlights a framework limitation where linking fields to child table doctypes results in permission errors and lacks permission assignment capabilities. The solution involves modifying the framework to exclude child table doctypes from link field options. The maintainer suggests a workaround involving custom queries, indicating potential complexity.

Issue Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The framework does not support linking directly to a child table. When a link field is created and associated with a child table doctype, the system displays a permission error. Additionally, it is not possible to assign permissions to a child doctype.
