Here is what I am trying to do.
I have created a content type called 'Important Date'. I have created several nodes of this type. I created a second content type 'Weekend' and gave it a Node Reference field. I created a view that displays all of the 'Important Date' nodes. When I select one, all I get is a link to the Node, I would like the value for the Date field in the referenced 'Important Date' node to be placed in the field in the referring 'Weekend' node.
There are two reasons I want to do this.
1) I have several groups and a 'Weekend' node is specific to a group, 'Important Date' is not. I want to be able to have a global calendar and then a group specific one. The 'Important Date' nodes would define the global calendar and the 'Weekend' nodes would define the group specific ones.
2) I don't want to edit an allowed values list every time a new 'Important Date' is added. I just want to create a new 'Important Date' and have it's date value automatically available for any new 'Weekend' node.
I think that Field Reference is what I need, but unfortunately, I am at Drupal 6 and that module has not been updated yet.
