Hi Sebastian,

this is ultimatively good news. As I wrote today to Ingmar getting
bidirectional MM relations would be an important step forward for TYPO3,
independent of the question if they are bidirectional asymmetric ofr
biditectional symmetric links. The better if it is already done. Thank
you for implementation.

There are a lot of extensions depending on this: tt_news, dam, CFF,
commerce, .... For most of them the bidirectional asymmetric relation
will do the job, as they they typically select categories from a single
tree.

We were also discussing symmetric MM-realtions in this thread, where you
can select from multiple tables from both side of the relation. A single
table for all realtions that require additional fields to define the
role of the link and some other usefull informations. Is this also if
this is also covered by your developments or within the range of your
plannings?

Regards

Elmar
