  • Link the same entity multiple times with different names

    Edit: Solved. See later posts.

    I have a project entity that needs to have project managers and a project engineers. I am trying to make two linkMultiple relationships with the User entity, but the UI won't let me do it because it says the same link or entity already exists. I've tried editing all of json files, but nothing I've tried has worked. Is this possible? If so, how do you accomplish it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The attached pictures show the intent of what I want to do. I want to be able to select one or more users for each field, which will eventually be the way those people are notified of project updates. This is really similar to Assigned User, but it needs to be multiple people and they need to have different roles/titles/whatever you want to call it. I could assign all of the people using Assigned Users (notice the s), but that wouldn't help with our business case because some of the people need to specifically be called Project Managers and the others Project Engineers. It would also be really helpful to be able to run reports on each field.

    Edit the name of User relation part, for example from users to managers or engineers

      That doesn't seem to work. I created the Project Manager relationship first:

      Which caused the following changes:

        When I try to add the next relationship, it fails:

        Do I need to also change the projects name to something else? I suspect that's the issue, but I don't know for sure.

          Ok so changing the name on the Project side to projects2 fixed it. Is that fine? I mean it seems to work, but I don't know if there's going to be another issue.
