Otis, I would really like to have typed lists participate in relations with Entities. I had hoped I could manually use the GUI to add a relationship to attach a typed list to an entity, but it would not work.

It bugs me that I create a typed list that uses known fields with known relationships. I then go into the entity where I want this related field, code (cannot believe I have to actually write code frowning ) a property that creates the typed list and then applies the known relationship to it and returns it.

Can we, can we, please? simple_smile

Typed lists are build of entities, why would you want to create a relation between a typedlist and an entity? you want to return a filled typedlist from a property? If so, doesn't that take just 3 lines of code?

Exactly!

If so, doesn't that take just 3 lines of code?

I could say the same thing for an entity relationship to another entity - so what is the difference? Would just be cool to support it!

I said I could not believe I had to actually write some code! simple_smile

Please consider it, would be a nice addition and it is not much code to generate and would work just like other entity relationships (tables/views).
