Filesoft Academy — Course 4 Lesson 2
Created by Plato · Filesoft

Requires FileMaker Pro 26 desktop on macOS, sold separately. Admin, blank password. Local teaching file, not a production security template. Do not enable hosting for this exercise.

Starting file: latest closed owner-saved Lesson 1 example with three practice projects. Follow the lesson to add ProjectID, ProjectsForTask, the relationship and Task Project Links.

On the completed example choose Layout > Task Project Links, Browse mode, List View, Show All. All four inherited tasks remain; project names are blank until assignment in Lesson 3. Displayed fields are view-only. Use the Layout menu to return to Contact Projects or Contact Task Views.

Keep the existing Contacts–FollowUps and Contacts–Projects relationships. Project creation remains through Contact Projects. The new relationship has creation/deletion off on both sides. Matching is not stored-key validation; do not type or guess IDs. Lesson 3 adds a chooser and assignment checks.

Keep an untouched original; work in a copy. Save and close before backing up. Follow the worksheet to check previous records, relationships, read-only display, navigation and reopening. Owner performs native appearance and interaction checks.
