Hi,

I have a Designer object with a many_many connection to Regions. I edit them throught the ModelAdmin.

I have rebuilt the Regions tab for a designer with this code I found on the forum

	public function getCMSFields()
		{
			$f = parent::getCMSFields();
			// rebuild the regions tab
			$f->removeByName('Regions');
			$regionsTablefield = new ManyManyComplexTableField(
				$this,
				'Regions',
				'Region',
				array('Title' => 'Title')
			);
			$regionsTablefield->setAddTitle('Regions');
			$regionsTablefield->setPageSize('50'); 
			$f->addFieldToTab('Root.Regions', $regionsTablefield);
			 
			return $f;
		}

This works, but only when I have done the following:

1/ Saved the Designer object and then
2/ Reloaded the designers list by pressing the tab at the top fo the ModelAdmin and
3/ Reopened my Designer object

When I try to add Regions when I first create the Designer, the Regions aren't saved. When I simply open the Designer without refreshing the list (step 2), it won't save anymore, the loading animation on the button will keep running.

I'm still looking in to this.

I have found out more:

1/ It only happens when a HTMLEditorField is added. I tried copying the modified ModelAdmin.js from this: http://open.silverstripe.org/browser/modules/cms/trunk/javascript/ModelAdmin.js?rev=79352 But that didn't work.

2/ When I try to save a many_many relationship, I get this error: t.win.document is null, which is something to do with TinyMCE.

3/ If I try to edit after the first save, these files don't seem to want to load (although they are available):
