paul bolger	Monday 19 February 2007 7:24:31 pm I'm looking at using an extended object relation handler. We need to link contacts to a list of organisations, about 400, which is going to be a bit much in a checkbox field, list or dropdown. My guess is that when faced with four screens of list many users will give up and not select any. Can anyone tell me what the relative advantages of these two extensions are? Would introducing one of them cause problems when we upgrade from 3.86 to 3.9x? regards Paul Bolger Paul Bolger

However, don't know what would be an adequate display. Do you have any idea on how you'd want to present your organisations list ? X+ http://www.sydesy.com

Hi,

For enhanced object relation, that's quite easy to extend and create a new type of selection view (on the top of the select checkboxes...). However, don't know what would be an adequate display.

Do you have any idea on how you'd want to present your organisations list ?
