Thought you might like to see this...

I have added a new column to the vtiger_crmentityrel table called "qty" 
which is an integer type and defaults to 1. This has no adverse affects 
on anything else as far as I can see; all other inserts and deletes work 
as normal.

In my modules I have used the extensibility of the new vtiger 6 
architecture to support this scenario of multiple quantities of n:n 
relationships with no modifications to the vtiger core code. All 
functionality is handled in my module classes and javascript classes.

The final bit I want to do is to, ideally, trigger an existing workflow 
function to perform a field calculation in the parent module, but if 
this can't be done I will simply add a function to my module's model to 
perform this update.

While I don't see this particular approach to the solution having much 
potential as an Extension module for the Marketplace (it is very 
specific to this customer) I thought the general idea and might be of 
interest.

Cheers

Al
