Hi, I am having trouble with understanding how to get Many to Many relationships into a FormFu form via YAML. Consider the tutorial example... https://metacpan.org/module/Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::09_AdvancedCRUD::09_FormFu The authors are placed into a select element. <snip> } else { # Get the authors from the DB my @author_objs = $c->model("DB::Author")->all(); # Create an array of arrayrefs where each arrayref is an author my @authors; foreach (sort {$a->last_name cmp $b->last_name} @author_objs) { push(@authors, [$_->id, $_->last_name]); } # Get the select added by the config file my $select = $form->get_element({type => 'Select'}); # Add the authors to it $select->options(\@authors); } </snip> and then in the form set up config <snip> - type: Select name: authors label: Author </snip> What if I don't want the authors in a select field but a text field? Can I do that? I have been trying to use something like in http://search.cpan.org/~pshangov/HTML-FormFu-Model-DBIC-0.09002/lib/HTML/FormFu/Model/DBIC.pm#has_many_and_many_to_many_relationships but that example schema set does not have the "many-to-many join table between books & authors" as in the tutorial. https://metacpan.org/module/Catalyst::Manual::Tutorial::03_MoreCatalystBasics#CREATE-A-SQLITE-DATABASE I can't figure out how to write the YAML to get FormFu to put the data into my edit form while using the many to many join table. Can anyone help out? Thanks in advance.
