06/26/2023, 9:53 PM👋 Are there any good examples of a full workflow for creating associated records? For example, I have Movies, Actors and Directors. I want to create a movie & associate already existing actors and directors, or create new ones, in a single flow. I think this is the reverse of https://docs.avohq.io/2.0/recipes/nested-records-when-creating.html

Has there been any other progress on this?

06/27/2023, 8:27 AMif you have a director created and you go to movies and add a movie, you can select from the current directors

06/27/2023, 8:28 AMthe things you can't do right now is to create a director from a movie create view

06/27/2023, 9:17 AMThanks Adrian, I understand. It's a little disruptive if one is creating a lot of records (imagine every actor!) but I can live with it for now. If I change my mind I'll try something like the other thread I linked, until then I'm looking forward to any improvements you implement here in the future!
