[TYPO3-dev] How do I add existing records with IRRE?

[Loek Hilgersom]

Hi Joey,

Do you have this working somewhere with a 1:n csv relation? I got the point, but 
that was exactly what I was already doing.

If I do this, I get this result:
- A select box shows up for field child_records in the parent edit form
- The select box shows records from the parent table (which is correct, because 
in the children table the select box is set to foreign_table => parents)
- The selectbox is always a single selectbox, even if I set e.g. size => '3'
- In both cases, all that happens when I select an item is that a new empty 
child record is created inline
- If I change foreign_table => children in the children table, then the children 
records show up correctly in the parent form, but still nothing works.

I'm out of ideas. Does anyone have this working somewehere?

Thanks,
Loek
