Reference editor widget flow

A reference editor within the Management Center provides support for editing the relationship between two primary objects. The reference editor is declared as part of the properties view of a primary object; it allows the business user to select another primary object.

Use a reference editor to allow a business user to specify that another primary object is related to the current object. Only use the reference editor when only one related object is allowed. For example, a product can only have one parent category. If the business user is allowed to specify multiple related objects, such as multiple merchandising associations, use the child list editor instead.

A reference editor widget can only be used in the object properties view. A reference editor always includes a new icon (so that you can create a new instance of the related primary object instead of searching for an existing object) and a delete icon (to delete the related object). In addition, a reference editor can also optionally include the following elements:
