Hi all,
Speaking about child tables, I would rather have them presented as table
and not forms by default (or have an option to decide this for QGIS
installation). Usually you only want to see the list of children for each
relation, which is more compact, and show very fast if there is zero or
OK, I've created a PR for auto-detecting N-1 relations and pick the
RelationReference widget for the foreign key fields.

For the deep relations UX problem, I really don't know. Do we have UX
experts among the QGIS devs?
Thanks.

Matthias,
Hummm... I don't know about the tabs. Initially I was thinking it would be
a good idea, then I tried to imagine how it would look like for linked
layers within linked layers. We would have two choices:
- Have QTabWidget within QTabWidget: tabs within tabs is a UX nightmare

Hi Patrick,
for the side that contains the foreign key, there is the "relation
reference" widget which has a configuration option "show embedded form"
(I haven't used it in years and a quick check on it didn't work, so
maybe it needs fixing).
Agreed, collapsed by default makes sense for huge
Hi Matthias,
My screenshot shows only 1:N links. N:1 links are not supported. By N:1, I
mean the relations from the side that contains the foreign key. If I open
the form for the "appart" layer, it doesn't show the linked "maison".
Yes, the collapsed state is remembered, but the default should
Hi Patrick,
Making forms and relations more usable is always welcome.
What exactly are the problems you have with the current solution?
I see that you mentioned the lack of the N:1 side which is available
including add feature, add link, remove feature, remove link pretty much
the way you
Hi Patrick,
Matthias Kuhn, the one who knows about this the best, is currently out
of office / on holidays. I think he is back next week.
I would probably wait for his review.
Thanks and greetings,
