'Commissions' - a type of fact #12

Closed MrsJellybob closed 13 years ago

MrsJellybob commented 13 years ago

Hello,

A type of fact about a vowess that I often need to enter is a 'commission' (don't worry what that is - it's not important). Each commission will have the following attached facts: date of commission, who the commission is from and who the commission is to. If possible, I'd rather the commission itself didn't have it's own page, but I will need the option to create a page for the person who's sending the commission and the person who's receiving the commission. Can 'commission' in the fact field be identified and then the date, from and to options appear, or is there another way to solve this problem?

It could be, but I'd rather not have facts with multiple values, because it's going to make them quite complicated very quickly.

Would it work to use 3 facts for it?

That will also mean you can search on them separately later, which wouldn't be possible if they're all bundled into one fact, making it difficult to find things like "Who was this person responsible for commisioning in his lifetime?"
