Feedback requested: How would you build reverse lookups in Coda?

An example that comes to mind:

This packages table allows me to add one component at a time and group them as part of one package:

I want the ability to view these as collective types:

For my user, this distinction between Package and Package Type is nebulous. It’s weird to them that they need to add a Package Type to [Package Types], then select the Package Type in the [Packages] table and add the components.

Instead, they would prefer to do all of this in one table:

  1. Add the new Package Type
  2. Select its components

This could be done with Paired Lookup columns.

But maybe you’re right, @Paul_Danyliuk. This could be solved with better implementation of grouped columns.
