Hi,

I have tables A, B and A2B for m2m mapping in a  scoped application.

When I open record of A in platform UI, I am showing related list for A2B. I am trying to show Edit button which will open slush bucket behaviour. 

Edit button was not shown by default on A2B related list. When I set 'Reference floats' to true on column A in A2B table, Edit button shown is shown.

When I click Edit button it is opening slush bucket. Left side of slush bucket is empty.

I want left side to be populated will all values of table B. Is it feasible? I think it is very common scenario, and definitely there will be solution. 

Please provide your inputs.

Thanks,

Chakri.

Hi,

Have you declared the m2m relation on the sys_m2m table?

No. 

I already have separate m2m table 'A2B'.

Do I still need to define m2m relation in sys_m2m table?

Hi,

Yes in order for it to act as a true m2m table you need to define it as such on sys_m2m. Then the functionality you desire will propogate as the platform does this by default.
