I have three entities.
- Author
- Newspaper
- Dissertation
Newspaper and Dissertation both can have one or more Author. I have managed to do this fine with Newspaper. What I am trying to accomplish is to create the same link from Dissertation as that of Newspaper. That means, I want authors (Dissertation) to link to parentEntity (Author).
Heres an image that may help.

As you can see, Dissertation currently links to newRelationship.
Make an abstract parent class named “Paper” or something, which has the “authors”-relationship to “Author”. Let both “Newspaper” and “Dissertation” be subentities of “Paper”.
If you do that, both subentities will have (=inherit) the relation (of their parent “Paper”) to “Author”, named “authors”.
