[SOLVED] Page Auto Complete with multiple pages from more than one parent

[BFD Calendar]

On an 'exhibitions' template I have a Page Auto Complete field 'works_id_list' with a multiple page array, where I can choose works that were to be seen in this exhibition. On the front page, the list of works can be seen. Most of the 'works' have the parent 'Works', but recently I want to add pages from a different parent as well. I can add them in the 'Custom find' or 'Selector string' part, and find/select them but they are not validated because they are not in the parent 'Works'. Although it says in the template part of 'selectable pages' "Select the template of the pages that are selectable. May be used instead of, or in addition to, the parent above." there seems to be no way to remove the parent, only change it to a different one. Any way to solve this?

I'd need to do a dig in my repositories but I remember doing something like this hooking into InputfieldPage::processInput and updating the parent_id property of the InputfieldPage object  before processing the page to be saved, so that it would make it valid.

If you expand the page tree in the parent select, you should be able to click "unselect" next to the "works" page.
