Create collection relationships to all other collections

Thank you @Grant, for these reminders. They help me solidify my understanding of the theory. In practice, however, it remains confusing. Could you please read my previous message in more detail? I don’t understand how to enter data into the custom form; it’s not working.

In addition, I would like to be able to enter this data in both directions. The “DNA & Tissue” and “Historical context” collections will be the collections that are linked to all the other collections. However, each other collection will also potentially have links with entries from the “Historical Event” and “DNA & Tissue” collections.

For DNA & Tissue, this is a one-to-many relationship (one Specimen for several Tissues, for example) so your exemple is valide. But for Historical Context, it is a many-to-many relationship (one Specimen can be linked to several Archives, and one Archive can point to several Specimens). How can I do that?

Finally, how do you fill out the “rightsiderels” form? It’s supposed to be automatic, but nothing happens in the “Historical context” collection. The formular stay blank.



I created the links in the Paleo collection, but they don’t appear when I open the Historical Event collection. They only appear if I click on the eye icon.

Autofill only works if I use the form in the left collection (here “Paleo collection”).

In addition, there is a mix between the catalog numbers and the fields that I don’t understand (see my previous message and the screenshots for more details). See in particular the behavior of the Destination Object field.
