Entity designer problem when associate to entity in add datastore

Support
#1

Hi team,

When adding entity attribute that associate with entity in another data store, the cardinality field does not allow to choose “Collection”, see below screenshot:

However after I manually change the field to list, it shows correctly in the right side of entity designer:

Hi Bryan,

It is not supported in runtime. DataManager can handle only to-one references between entities from different data stores.

Thanks, Konstantin.

In this case, we can load the to-many reference list manually then set to transient field of the master entity, is this the best solution?

Sure. For example, in an EntityLoadingEvent.
