Hi David, I believe this is two separate issues. The first is, I believe, due to a bug that existed with #template_display, where it didn't display links for fields of type "Page" that also have a list of allowed values defined for them. I just checked in a fix for this, so if you get the latest Page Forms code, it should hopefully work correctly.
The second isn't actually a bug, I don't think. When you set autocompletion for a field of type Page, you have two choices: you can autocomplete based on values that have already been entered for that field, or you can autocomplete based on the set of wiki pages that the field is meant to hold. By default, it's the first one - which means that you will only see a value in the autocompletion after it's been entered at least once. Ultimately, it probably doesn't really matter which one you do - but if you stick with this approach, you'll need to manually enter each value once. -Yaron On Wed, Sep 1, 2021 at 2:08 PM David Epstein <david...@umich.edu> wrote: > Hi folks, > > I'm working with Cargo, PageForms, and PageSchemas.
