[TYPO3-mvc] mm relation with attributes

[Christian Kartnig]

Hi Franz!

Thanks a lot for your answer. Thats exactly how I did it.

I have three objects, SpecialField 1 : N SpecialFieldPercentage N : 1 
Company.

But I don't know how to deal with creating the "intermediate" Objects in 
the fluid form. Can you please explain shortly how the fluid form should 
look like? I have no idea how to map the three objects.

Thanks a lot,
Christian
