How to change relationship type of existing relationship?

peter_b

When I create a relationship (e.g. object/object), how can I change the "type" afterwards? Currently I have to delete the relationship and define a new one.

But for object/agents, the relationship has metadata fields inside (paperclip)...

Thank you very much in advance :smile:

Is there really no way to change the relationship type?

I assume silence means "there is no way currently". Would it be possible to add this - and if we provided a patch, with which properties would you accept it upstream? :smile:

I've found it! (I guess...)

In app/conf/app.conf, set the following option to "1": ca_entities_lookup_relationship_type_editable = 1

Now, the relationship type (here for entities) is now a dropdown and can be changed.

Yes, that's correct. Apologies for missing the initial posting. I'm trying to be better about responding to these when no one else does now :-/

BTW, it's an option because some users want the option while others find it quite jarring. Sometimes it seems like 90% of the options in app.conf are there to provide similar "freedom of choice".

I'm happy it's possible :smiley: Thanks!

Would this work when editing in the relationships bundle? or somewhere else?
