[ckan-dev] Dataset relationships

Mon Nov 28 11:17:50 UTC 2011

Hello,

I set relationships between some dataset in cz.ckan.net. It is good that if
you use child_of relationship than parent_of relationship is set
automatically.

I have also tried to use extras fields to store information about
relationships between datasets. I found out that if you first add
relationship using CKAN API into dataset relationships attribute and than
you add extras field for the same relationship with key in format
"parent_of:dataset_name" or "child_of:dataset_name", storing this extras
field will clear all relationships in relationships attribute stored
earlier.

I might be some kind of bug but I suppose you will know better. Is it
possible to use relationships attribute and extras field for relationships
at the same time?

Thank you

Jan Kucera
