Maybe not the best way but i solved this in onBeforeWrite().

Example:

        
        static $write_count = 0;


	function onBeforeWrite(){
		parent::onBeforeWrite();

		//workaround for saving correct ManyMany Relation in Popup 
                //$write_count : Make sure only updated once
		if(self::$write_count == 0 && isset($_REQUEST['ProductVariationDetails'])){

			$variationDetails = $_REQUEST['ProductVariationDetails'];
                        //remove not needed array key
			unset($variationDetails['selected']);
                        //remove all relations to the DataObject first.(Needed if relations get de-selected in Table)
			$this->owner->ProductVariationDetails()->removeAll();

			foreach($variationDetails as $detailKey => $detailID){
				$ProductVariationDetail = DataObject::get_by_id('ProductVariationDetail',(int)$detailID);
				if(isset($ProductVariationDetail->ID)){
					$this->owner->ProductVariationDetails()->add($ProductVariationDetail);
				}
			}
			self::$write_count++;
		}
	}

Hi. I got it to save by doing this:

	function getCMSFields() {
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		$fields->addFieldToTab(
			"Root.Content.Media",
			new ManyManyComplexTableField(new Page_Controller($this), "Media", "Image")
		);
		return $fields;
	}

Note this is inside getCMSFields, which is in Page. ManyManyComplexTableField requires a Controller as its first parameter, so I create a new Page_Controller and pass $this (the page) as a parameter to the controller. If you pass $this to ManyManyCompexTableField when you're in getCMSFields, you're passing in a Page object not a Controller.

mark_s unfortunatly your solution didnt work for me.

Matze0681 however yours worked like a charm!

I was unsure of where to add your code at first so for the benefit of others, my context is that I have extended Member to create LMM_Member. My LMM_Member and Segment objects have a Many - Many relation. I hadded the ManyManyComplexTableField and onBeforeWrite() in my LMM_Member extension and my LMM_Segment object remained the same. See below for code example:

LMM_Member

class LeadManagementMember extends DataObjectDecorator {
    
    //For some reason with this SS build extraStatics() doesnt build properly, you must build with extraDBfields (which works but throws deprecated warning)
    //public function extraDBfields() {
    public function extraStatics() {
        return array(
            'has_many' => array(
                'Leads' => 'LMM_Lead'
            ),
            'many_many' => array(
                'Segments' => 'LMM_Segment'
            )
        );
    }

    public function updateCMSFields(FieldSet &$fields) { 

        //Only add these fields if the current user is a LMM_User
        if(Permission::checkMember($this->owner->ID, "LMM_ACCESS")) {
                $table = new ManyManyComplexTableField(
                $this->owner,
                'Segments',
                'LMM_Segment',
                array(
                    'ID' => 'ID',
                    'DisplayVal' => 'Segment Name'
                )
            );
            $table->showPagination = false;
            $table->setParentClass($this->owner->ClassName);
            $fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Segments', $table);
        } 

    }
    
    public static $write_count = 0;
    
    function onBeforeWrite(){ 
        
        parent::onBeforeWrite();

        //workaround for saving correct ManyMany Relation in Popup 
        //$write_count : Make sure only updated once 
        if(self::$write_count == 0 && isset($_REQUEST['Segments'])){
            
            $segments = $_REQUEST['Segments']; 
            
            //remove not needed array key 
            unset($segments['selected']);
             
            //remove all relations to the DataObject first.(Needed if relations get de-selected in Table) 
            $this->owner->Segments()->removeAll();

            foreach($segments as $segmentKey => $segmentID){ 
                $segments = DataObject::get_by_id('LMM_Segment',(int)$segmentID); 
                if(isset($segments->ID)){ 
                    $this->owner->Segments()->add($segments);
                }
            } 
            
        self::$write_count++;
    
        } 
    }
   
}

LMM_Segment

class LMM_Segment extends DataObject {
    
    public static $db = array(
        'DataVal' => 'Varchar(255)',
        'DisplayVal' => 'Varchar(255)'
    );
    
    public static $belongs_many_many = array(
        'Members' => 'Member'
    );
    
}

Thanks again Matzeo!
