[TYPO3-dev] mm relations remain on delete of records

[Peter Kuehn [wmdb]]

Hi Masi,

I see and agree with your point.

Background of my question: im still trying to solve the flexible content 
element <=> mm-relation issue (they simply dont work as mentioned in the 
core documentation, thus Templavoila can´t use DAM...).

If you remove an entry from a FCE (which is: deleting a part of the 
resulting xml - not the whole record) and add a new one later on, the 
new one may allocate the same place in the resulting xml.
the new element will then point to the not deleted mm-relation(s) of the 
elder one - as a surprise for the editor.

flexforms - seems they have one´s own life ;)
