Thanks, that sounds very promising, I almost made my peace with huge
filtering all over the place :/. But how do I get those titles in my list
field without overwriting those that are already there? And how do I manage
deletion of say Person1-Contact2 which might be somewhere in the middle of
that list?
Cheers,
Tristan
