Hi,

I created two cck types with a one-cardinality (one node of the first type has one item of the second type as field) and that works ok.
But i'd like to be able to make a new View which lists all items of the first type in a table view, and one column of that table being the title of the related subform type.

Would this be hard to implement, because when checking the selectlist for the view fields i can add, i don't find anything relating to the subform item, so i could list all items of the first type, but the existing relationship with the other node cannot be outputted.

I hope my explanation is a bit clear...

Maybe this isn't the right module for what i try to achieve... but i like the ability to create new nodes while creating another (parent) node.

i understand what you're saying, and i think its a good feature to have

i just haven't thought through how to accomplish it

the first problem that comes to mind

is if there are multiple paths between the parent item (car), and the child item (person, but is it an owner person, or a mechanic person)? then even if you tell the views sytem that you want to see the title of related person objects, it can't be sure which is the right path to take from Car to Person

and beyond that, in the views interface, lets say you add the "node: title" field twice, and you're intending it to be used the first time as the car title, and the second time as the person title. i don't think there is any way to represent that?

i'm all ears for suggestions
