Hello everyone,

I'm encountering an error when trying to update a document (in the web console) from a relationship collection: "Invalid relationship value...".

I have two collections and I'm setting up a many-to-many relationship using a third collection to store additional attributes for the relationship. I'm familiar with MySQL, where I would typically use a join table for this. However, I'm unsure how to handle this in my current setup without needing an additional table.

Has anyone faced this issue before? How can I properly manage this type of relationship while avoiding the error? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

TL;DR
Issue: Encountering "Invalid relationship value" error when updating a document with many-to-many relationship in the web console. Solution: To manage this type of relationship without needing an additional table, consider using a third collection to store additional attributes for the relationship. This structure can help handle the many-to-many relationship effectively and avoid the error.
