I have a basic site for Project tracking. Originally we were just keeping track of what Projects the Developers are working on.

I had a many_many relationship between two DataObjects Project and Developer

Project extends DataObject {

   static $many_many = array(
   'Developers' => 'Developer'
   );

Developer extends DataObject {

   static $belongs_many_many = array(
   'Projects' => 'Project'
   );

I'm using ModelAdmin (we're just looking to manage it in the backend).

We would like to assign a percentage of the Developer's time when we assign them to a project(s). I haven't been able to come up with a good method to add the PercentTime field into this. Originally I was going to use a checkboxfieldset to pick the developers, but you can't assign the percent of the developers time then. The more I thought about it, there didn't seem to be a good way to enter data on two many_many fields that are related to each other.

Thanks, that does allow me to assign the time, but I have an odd issue now. I'm adding the Developer and Time with a DataObjectManger (I get the same results with a ComplexTableField) like so:

Project extends DataObject

      //Add Developer and Percent of Time
      $manager = new DataObjectManager(
         $this,
         'Developers',
         'Developer'
      );
      $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Resources", $manager);

The Resource Tab that is created Let's me add the Developer and Time, but when I create a new Project, the existing Developer and Time are already entered. I was expecting to see a blank table every time I create a new project

If I change Project to be a Page instead of a DataObject, it works correctly. Reading the documentation on DataObjectManager (and ComplexTableField) the $this states that it's the current Controller. Do I have to use a Page class in order to make this work or is there another way to enter the Developer and Time using a DataObject?

Thanks
