Hi you are currently supporting many-to-many relationship but it is still inappropriate implementation due to:

  • Intermediate table is generated, but with only foregn keys - We need to add additional properties into this table easily as on picture where we need to add "order" column in Inventory.

  • ALso generated UI is not appropriate, I expected that generated UI will have generated typehead on both entities in relation ship (on sample picture: Inventories should have typehead for choosing Images and Images UI will have option for slecting Inventiries) - currenty it is only one generated UI

  • Could you pls. re-validate DevExpress XAF how it should be generated, where you have automatically generated subgrids with automatically generated actions - https://docs.devexpress.com/eXpressAppFramework/112719/getting-started/in-depth-tutorial-winforms-webforms/business-model-design/business-model-design-with-xpo/set-a-many-to-many-relationship-xpo

  • You still missing basics approaches of entities modeling. if ABP suite is RAD it should support this basic releationship with fully code / UI generation, otherwise it doesn't help improve dev processes and instead of that we need to spend time for customization.

I fully understand we can code that manually but this is basic

  • ABP Framework version: v5.2.1
  • UI type: MVC
  • DB provider: EF Core
  • Tiered (MVC) or Identity Server Separated (Angular): no
