I have a problem with pairing.
With this #9693555 I want to make a link with Strips Serie / hero D
But when I type D in the search field I get no result.
probably because I only fill in 1 letter.
How can I solve this problem?

As far as I know you have to type at least 3 letters here at LD...

After Morits advice I tried different combinations and ended up with Dee as well.
Thanks everyone for the advice.

MandersH , I just linked you in the admin forum about this topic. Maybe you can make the name variation for D as described in that topic? Or 1 of the other comic managers?

Is it possible to make it possible, if one is in the Records and CDs section, to link an item to another item in the Records and CDs section?
This isn't possible now.
Wanted to link a Single to an LP.

Aren't they already linked via the Main Artist/band?!
Or do you specifically want to link items with similar tracks together?
That's an interesting idea (also for songs performed by different artists), but it would require a major adjustment to the database.

Yes, I wanted to link a Single to an LP containing the two songs from the Single.
If this were possible, infinite possibilities open up.
Just as you write, for example, a song that was released years later by another artist or band, you can then link it to the original.
Or, as here, a Single on a specific LP or CD

This is the same wish as that for Comics/Books, among others, to be able to filter/select by Stories. The problem is that these are not manageable fields. This can only be solved in the long term.

Also very interesting (and already asked, the term 'Relationships' was used at the time, with 'draft' images of what it could look like) for the stamp section and the closing stamp section.
Linking to another item or issue within the same section.

Being able to link a stamp with an imprint (imprint new country name, imprint new value, imprint new currency unit...) to the original stamp... would be great!
Looking for derivatives (stamps with certain prints) sometimes takes up a lot of time. Time that other users could then save if you can record the result of your search in 'see also' links.
Now it works on LD like in a paper catalogue. With a mention in the details 'new value also exists with black and red print). That's how paper catalogs work too. Then you can start browsing (searching).
With a computer there are more possibilities than that.

Raoul62 good but difficult idea.. the only alternative I can think of is possibly only feasible when a copy is made ( during import ) of the existing (main) item.
Such that the original item number is placed as a #number (link) somewhere at the bottom of the comment fields, etc. and as such 'remains' in the display form on the newly added item. Just an idea...

It is certainly difficult now, because it is now impossible to view those things that are related (in the same section) in a simple way. Just a lot of searching and opening a lot of windows. And whether you have found them all... Searching is not for every user.

If those relationships can be pinned down, and other users (WiKi) can supplement them if necessary... then that will save a lot of work and frustration for dozens of users who then want to do the same thing.
A table with 2 item numbers per record, and presenting that in the detail of an item. Where the other item number is a link. Click on it with the scroll wheel and you will have the other items in additional tabs (windows) without searching. Ready for the real collector's work: studying. Now too much time and energy is wasted in searching (and finding).
And it doesn't matter whether the relationship is from left to right or from right to left. The Relationship (link) belongs in both items. Hopping from one item to another... A real possibility for a catalog on a computer, which is not possible on paper.
Simply explained, perhaps less simple to implement. In development tools that I am familiar with, this is simple. But I don't know the development environment of LD.
An impoverished alternative is a 'Grouping' field, with a technology similar to 'Issue'. However, then you limit the possibilities. An item can have relationships with several others (and vice versa).

I found my image of my original proposal in the Community:


The possibilities on computers should be utilized more.

For example, I once suggested adding something for the Michel number based on the number (not the addition). Things run smoothly if the agreements are followed (number + space + letter addition).
Catalog no. '25 C', for example '25', is easy to isolate and present as a link. Clicking on it could give you an overview of the items that also have such a catalog number: '25 A y' - '25 A x' - '25' - '25 D' ...

Or, a wonderful option for administrators: presenting the year of issue as a 'link'. Click on it -> all items for that country/area (filter on All) from that year.
When reviewing, an administrator first searches. Then he opens the stamp section, searches for the country, then fills in the 'from'-'to' with the year in which the search is to be made, and then clicks on the 'All' button. If you can bridge all those steps without 'ngnix' or 'bad gateway' ... then you have already lost a lot of time (and a lot of processor time has already been wasted on the server/site side). Then you sometimes skip those essential steps and items are reviewed that turn out to be a 'DUPLICATE' years later.
Every now and then, people get tired of clicking (and waiting several seconds before the next click can be made). It was quickly looked up on paper (or in another digital catalogue), then adapted on LD and reviewed without looking at the total picture.

Yep, certainly comparable Raoul62. I'm not familiar with stamps, but if (thinking) a stamp is of 1 type, with 10 variants, that could actually be automated: but what is the exact basis on which > On issue name selection??? (placed from dbase in field in that format).
Theme/motif shows too much, for example.
Roughly speaking: the filter option (existing and with results after performing actions) indirectly in a field. If I choose the filter, for example 1893 to 1893, that also works, but then the theme is decisive again (heraldry).
If I use the issue name (if known), this can also be done on the site... so first we have something uniform before something like this can be done... (I understand a bit of coding, but the basics are a bit too broad). A think tank was useful (and seems applicable to more categories).

I think that linking was requested a long time ago
Then argument within category was not possible.
But if you are going to do that per track per album, take yesterday's hackneyed tune that is on the album, help! how many times in the catalog now, almost 200 times, will this still be possible when introducing it, but every new entry must then be done manually, and who will do that?
You already see it with albums, one is complete with bells and whistles and a later entry only with artist
Personally, I think restoring the option to use that “so-called plain text” is much more important and useful
Not that I don't like what's attached to an album, to be sure
