Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The add relation pop-up in the create type view lists all the relations across all object types, even the ones such as the camera, camera aperture, camera exposure & rotten tomato scores, etc. [image] These relations are tightly coup…

There is an earlier request from @laurara that seems to deal with exactly that same issue, though related only to tag/status relation in templates. [ Select preferred options for status/tag relation within templates ]( Select preferred options for status/tag relation within templates ) Maybe they coul…

I was testing Anytype thoughtfully (basically implementing PPV) and this was a big sticking point for me as well! Would be really confusing for a new user too (who is used to Notion or any other app). @triangles The usecase provided by triangles is on point! :smiley:

We have this feature in Desktop in the latest release and it’s comming to mobile devices soon! [UPD] not this one, that one: Specify which objects to display and make selectable for a given relation

Correct me if I am wrong but this request is to limit the relations displayed in the add relation popup whereas the one added in the release is this one? https://community.anytype.io/d/741-specify-type-of-relation Edit: The above linked request limits the object displayed in the relation popup fo…

Correct me if I am wrong but this request is to limit the relations displayed in the add relation popup whereas the one added in the release is this one? You right, i’ve marked the wrong one! Edit: The above linked request limits the object displayed in the relation popup for adding new objects…

Agreeing this feature would be helpful. Additionally: When viewing the relations library, it would be very helpful to see the relations grouped in some way. Either by their scope limit (if this feature is implemented) OR even being able to manually group them. Right now, the relations library…

Is this already possible with the “status” relation type? It works the same way as Notion’s multi-select property. Just create a new relation using the status type, then add your options and that will get you what you are describing here.

This workaround would not work if you wanted to limit the Relation options to a specific subset of Objects. Right now a “status” relation type only accepts Text as the Relation option. So in the example of the “Continents” Relation, “Africa” and “South America” would be text. This could be remedie…

[image] daanl: That’s a great proposal! Without something like this the amount of mostly irrelevant relations will become extremely big over time I’m afraid. This is very much needed. It is really troubling to have so many relations and it seems you have to remember which ones are used for wh…

Extra feedback: [image] What is your dealbreaker with Anytype? User case : user from Notion, with multiples database. In Notion, each database has its own properties (relations) and pages (objects). In AT, a relation or an object are in AT. In practice, this poses organizational problems and, w…
