In the absence of having true Type Composition, it would be useful for some 1-to-1 relations if Fibery could automatically create and link the related entity.

For example, if my **Customer Type** has a 1-to-1 relation to my **Person Type** , when I create a new **Customer** entity, I might want Fibery to always create a **Person** entity for it, and relate them.

This could be an option available for every 1-to-1 relation field – “_Automatically create related entity_”.

You could imagine this as an extension of the existing “Automatically Link” feature of relations.

…

Of course this is a poor substitute for real Type Composition.

With real Type Composition we could compose (include) the **Person Type** into the **Customer** Type, which would inherit/include all **Person** fields, not merely link to them as a separate, independent entity.

Then we could create relations to **Person**" anywhere, that could include “ **Customer** ” entities, as well as entities of any other Types that include **Person**.

This scenario will be possible when with the first Automated Rules release. You will be able to create a rule like this:

When new Customer is created  
Then create a new Person with the Name = Customer.Name  
and set Person.Customer = Customer.

Hey, I’m trying to do pretty much this same thing right now, but when I try to create the automation I’m only getting the option to update the linked entity and not to create a new one.

When you’re creating the Rule and selecting the Action, scroll further down the list - the Action you want will be called “Add _\<DB name\>_” within the “\<DB Name\>” section:
