For properties that are scoped by relationship definitions, you can configure the List Edit control to display a dialog box for selecting the relationship, instead of a list box.

  1. Edit the column set that will be used for the list. You can edit the column set when you create a new list or edit a list in the List Management Console.

    SHARED Tip You can also edit the column set by clicking Manage Column Items for Edit on the column set's shortcut menu. See Manage column items for edit for more information.

  2. Enter RelationshipFind in the Display Override column for the property. The condition property of a method was used for this example.

  3. Click Finish to save your changes.

If the column item's Display Override property is set to RelationshipFind, when a user clicks on the cell for this property in the List Edit control, the Edit Relationships dialog appears.

The user can search for values for the property. In this example, clicking Find searches for conditions. The user can assign one or more values to be the value for the property, depending on the cardinality rules in place.

If the column item's Display Override property is not set to RelationshipFind, the default behavior in the List Edit control for properties scoped by a relationship definition is a drop-down list, pictured below.
