Hi,

I have a products class extending from Page and PageSections extending from DataObject. Each page can have many Page Sections and each Page Section can belong to many Pages.

 
....
//Page
public static $belongs_many_many = array(
		"PageSections" => "PageSection"
	);

...
//Page Section
public static $many_many = array(
    	'Pages' => 'Page'
    );

Product gets it's parent fields.

What I'm trying to accomplish is: each time I create a product, associate an specific existing Page Section by default.

Either via the Product model or calling the specific Page Section in the Product template.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your help.

//Page Section
private static $many_many = [
	'Pages' => 'Page',
	'Products' => 'Product'
];
