Adding a Relationship Between the Object Definitions

Delectable Bonsai must relate an application to multiple evaluations. This involves adding a one-to-many relationship in the Distributor Application object.

1. Begin editing the Distributor Application object.

2. Go to the Relationships tab.

3. Click Add () and enter these details:

   Field	Value
   Label	Application to Evaluations
   Name	applicationToEvaluations
   Type	One to Many
   Object	Application Evaluation

4. Click Save.

   This adds a relationship table to Distributor Application, which you can add to a separate tab in the definition’s layout.

   

   The relationship also adds a field to Application Evaluation object definition.

   

   Liferay also adds dedicated relationship REST endpoints to both object definitions for relating and disassociating entries using REST APIs.

   

Before you practice relating object entries, you must add the relationship to each object’s custom layout.
