what is impact of association source?

[zhasik92]

Hello, Community.

What is a purpose of <source> tag when  creating content model?

For ex:

<association name="scr:catalogElements">
   <title>childAssociation</title> 
   <source>
   <mandatory>false</mandatory>
   <many>true</many>
   </source>
   <target>
   <class>scr:catalogBase</class>
   <mandatory>false</mandatory>
   <many>true</many>
   </target>
</association>

Does it mean that association is bedirectional?

I've tried to delete <source> tag, and i have not seen any changes.

Could you provide a links for "deep learning" of content model configuration, datalists, etc..

Thanks

Yes, associations are bi-directional. See if these docs help.
