New "SearchEditQuantity" to reference entries based on search
Currently, to reference multiple entries in a schema, one has to use a repeating subsection that contains a ReferenceEditQuantity
. Each entry has to be linked individually and this becomes a tedious task if one wants to refer a large number of entries.
Having a new EditQuantity, perhaps SearchEditQuantity
for lack for a better name, that combines the existing search/explore and ReferenceEditQuantity
interfaces could be a great solution. It could be used to collect entries based on a search query and generate a list of references pointing to each of the entries. There could be an upper limit to the number of entries that can be handled here.
Some background:
- I had a related discussion with @mscheidg, where he pointed out two ways in which such an EditQuantity could be persisted: saving the query or saving the query results.
