Hello there,
Just getting started with processwire for a project. Pretty smooth so far!

There is one thing I'm missing is "inline" many-to-many. The ability to add pages 'joined' together similar to symphonys subsection manager http://symphony-cms....ons/view/41121/

As if the repeater field would actually adds new instances somewhere else in the hiearchy as well as edit inline. This so that the client wouldn't have to edit bits and pieces of data in different places in the page hierarchy.

It seems to me this isn't possible, but perhaps I'm missing something. So I thought I'd check

thanks!

This is what the repeater field does, except that the pages are hidden inside the special page "Admin>repeaters".

This was actually one source of inspiration for the repeaters in PW http://processwire.c...t__40#entry4906

There is the possibility to add new items directly from a page reference field, see this video. This is limited however to titles.
I agree that it would be very neat in some scenarios to add and edit page references directly, with all fields, possibly via a modal window.
Codingwise this may be complex i'm not sure. Maybe it can find it's way on the roadmap.

Just as input...

I was doing some tests and having fun coding a modules that lists links to selected pages in page fields.

Feel free to take it and do whatever you please. Possible to add a modal to edit pages directly from the link.

Thanks for the input!
In my current project the 'Create New' option covers most of my scenarios quite nicely.

Although, FYI, for more complex structures it's quite impressive how the subsection manager has a search field to find 'joined' items, and how you can create structures with several layers of hierarchy in one single page, that still are intuitive for the client to edit.
