    ComplexTableField shows all objects of a class. Link to this post

    I have a DataObject that has a $many_many relationship to other DataObjects. I want to just show a list of the objects but if I use a ComplexTableField I get a list of all the Objects of the second class instead of just the ones in that are related to the first object. I would use a ManyManyComplexTableField but I don't want to display any checkboxes as this table is not for editing the relations just displaying a list of the objects that are already related. I know that I can remove the edit permissions from the ManyManyComplexTableField

    What kind of TableField should I use to just display a nice list of related objects.

    Edit:

    I found a solution. I can use setCustomeSourceItems to give the ComplexTableField a DataObjectSet or ComponentSet.

    Hi Micah,

    I am dealing with the same problem here.

    Can you please tell me how did you create that dataobjectset for setCustomSourceItems() ?

    Thanks.
