Summary	2435: Setting relationships backwards (many-to-one case)
Description	Make it so that you can set up catalogues A and B, such that A has a multi-reference into B, and when you add a new entry to B you would be able to select an entry in A, such that it automatically sets an additional reference in the multi-reference from that entry in A to that new entry in B. i.e. to be able to set the relationship backwards. Allow it to work on edit too. It would be enabled by field options on the multi-reference field in catalogue A. For example, imagine catalogue A is artist and catalogue B is genre When you add a genre you can select what existing artists should be selected to be in that genre - and those artist records would be modified to point to this one extra genre (artists may have multiple genres).
Additional Information	This makes the workflow a lot easier. It means that an entry form would need to be smart enough to read pre-existing relationships in fields that aren't necessarily in that catalogue, then inject self-references into other entries. This could be extended with relationships for other content types. For example, when adding a news entry, allow selection of what catalogue entries are referencing that new news entry.
