I have a many-many relationship between BookPage and AuthorPage. That's working well enough--I can add authors to books; books appear on author pages; authors are listed on their book pages.
I need to add an attribute to some of the authorships, but not to the authors themselves (someone might be the author of one book, the editor of another, the illustrator of a third).
Authors are coming in on a checklist in the CMS when looking at a BookPage. What I'd like is to have a dropdown menu beside each one where you'd select the role each author played.
I tried adding Roles to the Authors tab on BookPage, but couldn't get it to show up by each author; instead it showed up once at the bottom.
I'm probably going about this wrong. What is the best way to do this?
