Hm, I don't know how you're implementing it (maybe I'll switch to the new-admin trunk tomorrow, just to take a look), but I think you can implement it fairly simply without the problems you describe above. Taking my example, I select "Forum" from the main menu. I get the Forum props and inline the Threads. Now, when I make a thread, it stays a textfield, which would be correct if I had just a two level setup (easy maintenance), but how about making "Thread" a link that links to a page with the properties of Threads and the assorted Posts that belong to it, just like it does now in the two level setup. You could make endless links, like so: First page: Object1 properties (changable) Object2 links -> page 2 Object2 "create new" input fields Second page Object2 properties (changable) Object3 links -> page 3 Object3 "create new" input fields [...] Last page Object(N-1) properties (changable) ObjectN properties (changable) That would be logical and sensible, I think. Just my 2 eurocents :) Feel free to ignore me if I'm talking nonsense :) -- Gegroet, Tim
