[TYPO3-dev] Dynamic Backend Editing

[David Bruehlmeier]

Hi Olly,

really cool! :-) I like it very much.

I definitely think that this kind of handling 1..n or n..n relationships 
needs to be part of the core. I would like to encourage you to get in 
contact with the HCI team (as it can be considered a usability issue) 
and to broaden your approach in a way that it can make it to the core.

Just one more thing that I think could/should be relevant regarding this 
initiative: If we are aiming towards some kind of great handling of 
complex data structures, I would very much like to see a feature to 
store additional attributes on the _relationship_ table, which is not 
possible today.

Example: tx_party_parties which stores all the parties, 
tx_party_addresses which stores all the addresses. If we assume the 
relationship between parties and addresses to be 0..n (i.e. addresses 
can be "re-used"), these relationships would be stored on a table like 
tx_party_parties_addresses_mm. On this table, I would like to be able to 
store attributes like the address usage or which address is the standard 
address for the partner.

It would be very nice if your approach would also include the handling 
of this kind of problem.

CU! Dave.
