Are you using a source or vocabulary? If so, this could be part of the nature of the values returned from that. A particular source would provide either objects to be contained, or references (not contained). Another reasonable approach (IMO) would be to simply document the containment/reference relationship in the field's description text or in a comment alongside the field. Still another approach, if you're looking to create software support and the first isn't suitable, is to use fields that provide additional interfaces that indicate the nature of the references. -Fred -- Fred L.
