Yeah I tried that, the problem is I want to reference the lookup list from the same table:

Flowering_month -> months table
Fruiting_month -> months table
Pruning_month -> months table

If I try to use the relation system for that the months table is removed as a relatable table after it has been used once (another bug maybe)?

Yeah it would db great if you could fix that next time you are doing paid bug fixing @mathias - seems like a basic thing that should ‘just work’.

Thanks for the replies Giovanni and Andreas.
