Cannot define Ext.data.field.Field.reference config as an object

[abuisson]

Hi all,

Today I migrated from SA 4.0 to SA 4.1.1 and after have error on references defined on my models.

The matter is on config reference of Ext.data.field.Field class.
With SA 4.0, I can define it as an object ilke as below:

reference: {
    type: 'folder.Folder',
    inverse: 'folder'
}

With SA 4.1.1, it has been converted into a string

reference: '{    type: \'folder.Folder\',    inverse: \'folder\'}'

When i try to change type of reference config, I can select only Model or String, not Object as in SA 4.0.

Could you please advise if it's a bug of SA 4.1.1 or I should define my references in another manner ?

Thanks in advance.

Anyway that you can share the workaround as I would be interested to try a few things. Mostly around renaming the inverse association, and I believe this could maybe done that way...

Hi Nicolas

What exactly is bothering you? Is it reported as a bug somewhere? If there is something broken / could be improved? It would be nice if we could improve this for all the users rather than trying creating work-around for one user.

Thanks

Well I did ask the question in the following thread https://www.sencha.com/forum/showthr...sociation-name

So I am still hunting for a good solution to this problem...

I'm interested too in the workaround, because it broke my app as I was relying on this "inverse" config. Could you please share it? Or send by PM? I opened a thread today for the same issue: https://www.sencha.com/forum/showthr...-object-config.Thanks !

[edit] Thanks for the fix in PM! Fixed it.
