Many to Many relationship displayed in object table

[Coder]

I’m still new to using Palantir Workshop and trying to find my way around, so I’d like to explain the scenario I’m working with.

I have two objects in my ontology: ExtractUser and ExtractMetaProject. They have a many-to-many relationship — one user can be associated with multiple projects, and one project can belong to multiple users. I’ve already configured this relationship correctly in the ontology.

Here’s the scenario I’m working on:

I have a project that is associated with several users. I’ve saved that project in a variable, and when I try to display the users linked to that project in an object table, all the users show up together in a single cell, rather than as separate rows.

Ideally, I want each user to appear in their own row in the table, so the relationship is shown more clearly and is easier to read. I’m not sure how to restructure my object set or table configuration to achieve that.

One work around I can imagine to make this happen would be to set it up so that the links themselves in the many to many table are objects.

You’d set up the ontology to that object 1 links to link object and link object links to object 2, that way each link object would be its own object and it would let you display it the way you intend.

Instead of retrieving the user details from the column configuration in the right-side panel, could you please try accessing them directly from the Object Set through linked objects. This approach will provide the desired flow. Refer to below image and let me know if it works. Thanks.

Thank you for the feedback. This is how I have the variable set to right now.

For what it’s we have Object-backed link types that model this exact setup in a first class way.
