When adding a field to an Entity that refers to itself:
…but IMO it’s rather unobvious how the relationships work and what the fields I will end up with are.
Good things:
- The suggested field name is “Users” which helps me realise I’m going to get a one:many relationship
- The “Direction” panel has the “one” relationship first followed by the “many” relationship
Bad things:
- As soon as I type “Manager” into the field name, I feel rather lost - which end of the relationship is which? In the UI it’s all just “User”
- It says “Add field” on the button but I actually get two fields, one at each end
- I don’t get to name the other field that gets created at the other end of the relationship - it just gets created as “Users”; I should be able to name it as “Reports” in the same step
Perhaps the UI could look like this instead:
Note that most of the above is probably valid for adding any relationship, and not just one that references the same entity type. Adding a relationship to the same type is most confusing, though.
