Thingy: link more than one thingData at a time  (#604)
Issue

In the beta versions, Thingy offers an excellent feature of linking Things to each other. But at this moment it seems as a limit that only one thingData of a Thing can be linked to another at a time.

For example, I'm building a professional connection network (mimic LinkedIn) with Thingy, and have created company A, B and C as three thingData of a Thing (named "Companies" for example). Now I would like to link both companyA and companyB to companyC as business partner. But I can only link either companyA or companyB at a time, since they are entries within the same Thing. This works like field type "selectBox".

So I would like to see Thingy provide users with more flexible ways of linking Things together. Like the way "checkList" works, for example.

I'm running into this same issue. We need support for a one-to-many relationship between things and support for choosing form fields that already exist in WebGUI.

I too need this feature. One to many feature would be great. Will really extend Thingy.

Happy to see that this feature is approved.

Sorry to ask this question, any idea when this feature would ready? Please note that I am just asking for information. No pressure intended. Just asking only.

I propose to do (and I did this) this by introducing a "SQL-select" field, where you can put a SQL-select and a default value in the field definition.
