    Default Can't Select fields from the Edit view

    Hi there,

    I have created a module called Divisions, and successfully set up a relationship between it and Contacts.

    One Contact can belong to many divisions, and one division can belong to many Contacts.

    I have added the Division_name field to the Contacts module, in both Edit and Detail view.

    When I attempt to edit a Contact, I click the "Select" button next to the Division_name field, and I can see all the Division names that I have created, but I am unable to select any of them. Why would this be?

    Hi callumd

    There is something confusing here.
    As per your description "One Contact can belong to many divisions, and one division can belong to many Contacts", so you are talking about a Many to Many relationship.
    This mean you should add Divisions and Contacts through subpanel instead of through button on DetailView and EditView.

    Ahh yes,

    I now see that Subpanels are the way to go.

    Thanks.
