Hi,

I have a BlogPost class, which has the relationsship:

static $belongs_many_many = array(
'Tags' => 'BlogTag'
);

and a CheckboxSetField of BlogTags is added in getCMSFields():

$dataSet = DataObject::get('BlogTag');
if( $dataSet ) {
$theCheckboxFieldSet = new CheckboxSetField(
'Tags',
'Tags for this blog post',
$dataSet,
$idList);
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Tags', $theCheckboxFieldSet );
}

In the CMS, is I click to the history of any BlogPost page, I got the error:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type DataObjectSet as array in /var/www/xebidy/sapphire/forms/CheckboxSetField.php on line 130

When I comment out the CheckboxSetField in the getCMSFields(), I can access the history of BlogPost. Do I do something wrong, or is this a SS bug?

first, make sure you've got $many_many = array("BlogPosts"=>"BlogPost") on the other side (BlogPost.php).

CheckboxSetField accepts DataObjectSets in the constructor, but it doesn't seem to process them correctly (I've filed a bug for that). please use an id-list instead:

$theCheckboxFieldSet = new CheckboxSetField(
'Tags',
'Tags for this blog post',
$dataSet->toDropDownMap(),
$idList);

CheckboxSetField actually extends DropdownField, so they share a lot of behaviour.
