I have a type RECIPE, it has an object relations list that contains objects of type INGREDIENT. I set the default folder for the object relations list to a sub folder in my content tree that contains INGREDIENT objects so that I can quickly add the appropriate INGREDIENTS to any new RECIPE objects that I create. However that default folder does not appear to be honored and I end up a couple of levels above my sub folder which is pretty annoying. Is this a bug (I'm running 3.7) or am I doing something wrong? Is there anyway to create new objects of the type specified for the Object Relationship List at the point I am trying to populate it? If I am trying to create a new RECIPE but I'm missing 1 INGREDIENT to add to the object relations list of INGREDIENTS I don't want to have to repeat the 'add objects' step multiple times, I just want to make a new INGREDIENT while I'm doing it. Is there anyway to be able to get a drop down selection box for object relationship lists similar to what you get for a normal object relation? Obviously it would need to be a multi-select selection list, but that would be totally awesome. Even more awesome would be if it could be some fancy .js type selection that supports sub menus, and you could define the submenus as an attribute of the object you want in the relationship list. Then you could do something like: Make object relationship list of INGREDIENTS, split up by CATEGORY (INGREDIENT attribute) and then when you go to create a new RECIPE there is no wacky default folder, just a nifty popup multiselect menu of all the INGREDIENT objects in the system broken out by INGREDIENT->CATEGORY.
