I would like to be able to specify the relations allowed for a class better than what is possible today.
Example:
I'd like to create a relation for the class Project to the node Employees. When editing a new Project the relation would then fetch all the Employees from that node and present them as a multi-selectbox where the user could select one or more related employees to a project. Theoretically this is already possible through today's related object functionality, but it's too open, as the user can relate to any type of object he has read access to. It's also easier for the user to directly be able to select the employees from a list rather than having to navigate through the whole node tree to find the right object. This would also simplify template creation as it would be much easier to create a separate display for related employees as opposed to other types of related objects.
Suggested selection methods:
- Checkbox
- Radio buttons
- Drop-down list
- Multiselect box
Suggested relation filters:
- Class
- Section
- Node
- Subtree (subtree would only make sense for drop-down list and multi-selectbox I think) It would be nice to be able to specify the sorting medthod for a relation as well.
