[Solved] Flexiaccess - Related Items problem

I can't grant rights/control to any flexiaccess group to modify the related items field value.
The category tree where one have to select first - is grayed out.
Only Superadmins can select categories and add related items.

Flexiaccess: 1.0.5
FC: 1.5.6 RC9b r1601

Can that be fixed pls?

Hello, this behavior sounds correct,

-- The edit field value is for displaying or not displaying the form element.

So edit field value hides the overall field edit capability.

-- After that the related items field still applies the Category access and item Access rules.

Are the category / item access applied correctly within the field ?

I'm not quite sure what category/item access within the field i can apply, but all other fields have the same individual permissions and they are working fine.

The flexiaccess group has all Frontend permissions for Articles ON except "Grant Perms". So that goes inherited to all categories.
There is no logic same group to be able to fill all other fields(in item edit form) except "Related Items". This is a bug.

When you are a flexiaccess group user(but no superadmin) and want to add related item the "Select Category" field - the category tree is grayed out - can't select category. If there are some item previously related by Superadmin, then the flexiaccess user is able to remove them. So the field is editable apart from the category tree. I hope i make sense now what the problem is.

The "Edit field Value" permission is not related to permissions applied within the field, it hides or show the field, and works on any custom field and for CORE field "description".

so this permission is not related to the problem for sure, but i guess you are not speaking of the "edit field value" permission

-- about the category tree being disabled,
i see that current build of tree requires the user to have all permissions to the category :
add and edit and editown

so this could be the reason that they are disabled

Try this find line (in file plugin relateditems.php): and change it to

Thanks, the problem is solved as usual

thanks for feedback,
i have updated permissions usage for J2.5

Also NOTE: on next update these fields will
-- be renamed (automatically) to relation and relation reverse
-- you will be able to fully customize the frontend display of them , showing your items not only as titles but with:
-- other fields too !! e.g. image, checkbox, etc
-- can enter HTML
-- can use separator, prefix, suffix, opentag, close tags

The above is for both fields relation and relation reverse
