Many-to-Many related list¶
Use this mode when both sides can share records, such as Orders and Opportunities, Campaigns and Contacts, or Documents and Teams. Link Pro shows the linked records as a compact related list inside the parent layout.
Configure the field¶
Open the Link Multiple field, enable Enable Form, and select the list layout.
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Detail Layout | Selects the linked-entity list layout shown inside the parent. |
| Edit Layout | Controls the list presentation while the parent is in edit mode. |
| Custom Layout | Opens a field-specific column layout editor. |
| Row Action Items | Enables the supported view, edit, unlink, and remove actions. |
| Custom Order | Uses a supported ordering field when the relationship provides one. |
| Order By / Order Direction | Sorts the linked records when manual ordering is not used. |
| Links Display in List Views | Shows names directly or opens the related records in a modal or full-page list. |
Behavior and limitations¶
Many-to-Many fields are related lists, not editable child forms:
- The row itself is not edited inline.
- View or Edit opens the linked record.
- Unlink removes only the relationship between the two records.
- Remove deletes the linked record when the user has permission; use it only when that is the intended action.
- Add-row, footer-total, child-field mapping, and Middle Link options are not shown because those features require a one-to-many child relationship.
Use the One-to-Many inline form when each row belongs to one parent and must be edited directly inside that parent.
