Inverse relationships disappearing from the inspector

Q & A
,
#1

I have several inverse relationships in my timeline, but when I use one, its opposite disappears from the inspector’s drop-down menu and I can’t select it.

So for example:

I created a parent relationship that has an inverse Child relationship.
I say that Character A is the child of Character B,
Now if I try to put them as the parent of Character C, I no longer have the option to do so.

It seems like the character can now only have a “Child” relationship or a “Parent” relationship but they cannot have both. And if I try to route around it by going to other inspectors:
Character B is the parent of Character A
Character C is the child of Character A
I find that Character A is now the Parent of Character B AND Character C

I feel like I have a setting wrong somewhere but can’t figure out what it is. Help?

Hi @WWScribbler we haven’t been able to reproduce your issue, so there may be a bug in the app version you’re using.

Could you please send us:

  • The version details of the app you’re using (go to Aeon Timeline > About Aeon Timeline on Mac, or Help > About Aeon Timeline on Windows).
  • Either a copy of your .aeon file or screenshots of the relationship settings and what is showing in the inspector.

If you email those to support@aeontimeline.com we’ll have a look and see if we can work out what’s going on.

Sent, thank you! It looks like the relationships resetting was a mistake on my end, but the inverse relationships are still disappearing from the drop-down once I select one of them, and I need both to appear
