I get most of this however, is there a simpler way to set the UI of the toOne?

    100 : (entity.name = 'AdRelease' and propertyKey = 'client') => 
componentName = ERD2WEditToOneRelationship 
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment],
    100 : (entity.name = 'AdRelease' and propertyKey = 'client') => 
restrictedChoiceKey = object.currentClients 
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment],
    100 : (propertyType = 'r' and relationship.destinationEntity.name = 
'Client') => keyWhenRelationship = clientName 
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment],

works beautifully however the UI is (are) radioButtons. Did I miss something do 
set the UI to a popup?
