The solution would imply storing some more information about the layers that compose a relation so that we can at try to reconstruct the relation by searching for "similar" layers in the existing project before giving up with a broken relation/join. The same issue applies to the value-relation widget. -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it
