If I'm following correctly, you should be able to get rid of the Repeatable, and the Select would work with your many-to-many if it were named 'skills', but the user will only be able to use it correctly if you set multiple(1) so they can select more than one item - or you could use a Radiogroup field instead. > [% FOREACH hero IN object -%] > </tr> > <td>[% hero.hero_name %]</a></td> > <td> > [% FOREACH unique_skill = hero.hero_skill %] > [[% unique_skill.rank %]] [% unique_skill.skill_id.skill_name %]<br > /> > [% END %] > </td> > </tr> > [% END -%] > </table> > > Please notice the odd relationship to get the rank to display.

How would you expect to otherwise refer to the 'skill_name'? [% unique_skill.skill_id %] refers to the My::HeroSkill->skill_id relationship, and returns a My::Skill [% unique_skill.skill_id.skill_name %] returns the My::Skill->skill_name column value.
