Many-to-many, view form not displaying field 11 Jul 2016 13:00 #14204

Hello I have a problem :

I'm making a component for volunteers registration. The registration is mainly a form with the name and 2 fields : "banned areas" and "preferred areas" ( the volunteer can choose one ore more "banned areas" and on or more "preferred areas" from a drop-down list".

I have several tables :
- table "volunteers"
- table "areas"
- table "volunteer_N_bannedareas" (a pivot table between "volunteers" and "areas") for "banned areas"
- table "volunteer_N_preferredareas" (a pivot table between "volunteers" and "areas") for "preferred areas"

I can creaté the form "volunteer" with the "builder > pages > layout > item" form with the fields :
- name
- prefered areas : ( Type : N:m || Pivot table : volunteer_n_preferredareas || Value field : Title)
- banned areas : (Type : N:m || Pivot table : volunteer_n_bannedareas || Value field : Title

But when I "run in sandbox", the view does not display the "prefered areas" field but it displays the "banned areas" field,

what I'm doing wrong ?

Try it with two different fieldnames (you now have 2 "areas")

This is a limitation at the moment. It is not possible in the builder, but you can edit the relations in your models constructors.

I should have a look, in this case. It is possible to add the feature.

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
