You would want to use relation instead of id references if you need to add additional data to the relation. I have a Library doctype and a Book doctype. If I just want to list the books in a library I would use a list of string in the Library document that would have the doc id of the books. If I want to also have information such as date of purchase I might use a relation and between the book and the library and add the date to this relation. I could also not have a Book doctype and create a relation from a library document to a URI (the ISDN number of the book) or the url of the book on amazon.com. -- Posted by "arussel" at Nuxeo Discussions <http://nuxeo.org/discussions> View the complete thread: <http://www.nuxeo.org/discussions/thread.jspa?threadID=2486#6838> _______________________________________________ ECM mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/ecm To unsubscribe, go to http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/options/ecm
