(posted in general but i think it goes here)

so i understand why 90% of the time this is not needed or even wanted but in this case i think it best (open to other suggestions though).

i have 2 apps I'm trying to create a relationship with, a "properties" app (with a relationship field titled "add to cart") and a "Clients" (with a relationship field titled "cart").

the idea is that when i add a client to the "add to cart" field on a property item that it will be added to the clients cart. the reasoning is that i can take this property out of the clients cart (whether because they do not want to see it or to add it to their next showing packet) and since it will remain in the properties "add to cart field" it can't be re-added to the clients cart. i set up a globiflow that accomplishes this but if i already have a property in the client cart field it will replace it with the new property not update/add the new property to the cart

  Hi William,

  I'm not sure I understand what your question is from the description above. What are you trying to achieve, and what issues are you experiencing?

  Thanks,
  Andreas

  sorry I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to create a flow (here or through globiflow) where when i update a relationship field in one app (add a client to a property "Add to cart" field) that the reverse also happens (the property gets added to the cart field in the client item). right now i have:

  Trigger: [(Property) add to cart] field updated
  Filters: none
  Action: Update Item in Clients - [(Clients) Cart] = [(Property) Address]

  which works but it replaces anything currently in the cart with the new property. what i would like to do is add the new property to the properties already in [(Clients) Cart]

  If I understand you correctly, there's really no need to set up the relationship both ways: Podio already shows this information. If you add a Client item to a relationship field of a Property item, then the Property item will show up on the Client item as well.

  i know, however i do want it to show up in both places because i want to be able to remove properties from the client "cart" without the clients in the "add to cart" being removed.
