Can’t create data model relationship

[polar nova]

I Created a Data model with AWS Amplify.

I’m following a tutorial and in the tutorial. In the tutorial there is a relation created in the video table. I did one video to one user.

The issue is whenever I try to create a relationship in the user model I am not able to do the same which is create a one user to many videos. I only have two options now.

Can’t create data model relationship

[dusk bridge]

you already created relationships between Video and users! why you are creating again with Users to video?

[polar nova]

Because that’s what was done in the tutorial. We’re trying to create a relationship so that one User can have(upload) many videos(multiple) that belong to them.

[polar nova]

I was supposed to create a relationship in the user model.

One User to belong to many videos

[tawny tinsel]

You should be able to click on "add relationship" on user and add a one user to many videos relationship

Wait I’m confused I was not able to get that relationship

[tawny tinsel]

I just tried it on my console. Very simple.

[polar nova]

Whenever I try I get this relationship

[tawny tinsel]

Let me see your video data model

[tawny tinsel]

Remove the user relationship

Then add relationship on the user data model

it SHOULD allow you to add one user to multiple videos

[polar nova]

Ok but then wouldn’t I still need a relationship in the video model for the video belonging to one user?

[tawny tinsel]

Nope

Now that I think about it, it should work regardless.

But you can't add User -> Multiple Videos relationship
and then add Video -> multiple users relationship because you've already created that sort of relaitonship in a datamodel

[polar nova]

Ok I understand so if I had to change it if I want users to be able to upload multiple videos what would I need to do?

[polar nova]

Add it to the user model?

[tawny tinsel]

I believe it'll work both ways once you make the relationship

so i don't think it'll matter who has it ( i believe)

[polar nova]

I think last time I tried this relationship I was only able to upload one video for each user

[tawny tinsel]

then try adding the relationship to the user data model not the video

[polar nova]

I think I understand not I’d probably end up doing the user one with multiple videos.

[polar nova]

I will try

Thank you for your help
