Isolate relations

[petaqui]

As any user keeps using Anytype, the Relations grow and grow
In my case I have different use cases: my main job, my second job, my hobby and my personal thing.
Each of those have different relations created for the objects that I create in sets, but, every relation appears everywhere when I want to add a new one to an object. For example:

• New invoice in job1 with a relation called “Provider” and another called “Wharehouse”

Now, Provider and Wharehouse appears as an option on every object, no matter if it’s about photography, or health. So, the thing is, is it possible to restrict some relations just for some objects? As now, starting to use AnyType as a main tool, I’m finding myself having to dive and investigate further whether to choose a relation or another because I’m not sure which ones I was using for each category, and the list is huge.

Thanks!

yes, it’s a common problem .

How to create relations that are *not* space-wide?

I created a new Collection and created tags that are specific to the objects within that collection. However, when I try to assign a tag to one of those objects, all tags in my space are displayed; and those tags are also visible in my relations library. How can I create relations that are confined to this Collection? So that: those tags aren’t visible/displayed anywhere else in the space, outside of that collection other tags in the space aren’t visible/displayed in that collection

Add support for collection-specific relations

The more comfortable I get with sets, and the more I grasp the difference between sets and collection and use both in my workflows, the more I feel the need for collection-specific relations.

Object Context

I have been using AnyType more and more and I love Collections. They allow me to isolate some work from other work, like separating information about clients from one another in my notes. One issue that I have been running into is for each client I have some tasks that I need to complete. So, I created a set of tasks. It is nice that I can create a task right from the set of tasks object, but the task shows up on all other task lists. I have gotten around it by adding a relationship called “Co…

Make relations really belong to the scope where they were added (type, template, or object), also sync with all the objects if a relation is added/removed from certain scope

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND Define a specific feature that is missing or could be improved: Anytype provides a very powerful relation system but seems too flexible to manage when dealing with a large set of data which might have relations add/remove to all objects timely. In my case, I’m migrating stuff from Notion to Anytype, large part is design docs of an RPG game, lot of the information stored in Sets(as database in Notion). i.e. for Characters, there will be relations like name, age, race, lev…

Thank you! I couldn’t find those posts as I didn’t know how to “explain” the issue that I’m facing. I decided to create relations with multiwords, like: “Job 1 - Invoices”, “Job 1 - Warehouse”, “Job 2 - Proposals” and so on
