Why is the "related items" in collective.nitf different from Plone "related items"? It seems to have an usability issue #159

Writing a page and going to related items I get:

selecao_148

and when writing a nitf content->related I get instead

selecao_149

Is this needed because you can limit which type of contents you can relate in nitf?

Anyways, in the first one, all you do is click on the item you want to relate; in nitf, you need to drag and drop it, and there's simply no written or visual indication that this is the way to choose anything. If you click on an item you're redirected to the related item. This behavior is confusing, specially when all other content types are the opposite.

historical reasons: when that was included, Plone's own widget was not good at working with huge sites; we removed that in 2.0 branch.
