Before I submit a feature request on the overworked Views issue queue -- please tell me there is a helper module that already does this OR some kind of solution for this problem:<br>
<br>
Drupal setup: D6 with latest versions of cck and views.<br>
<br>
Content type 1: Books<br>
Content type 2: Authors<br>
<br>
"Books" has a "node reference" field to "Authors"<br>
<br>
*Problem*: in order to successfully complete the form: node/add/books the author of the book you are adding most already have a record previously entered at node/add/authors.<br>
*Desired functionality*: When you type in the name of the author to the autocomplete field and then click submit, instead of getting an error, "Author: found no valid post with that title", Drupal would go ahead and create that new node with John Steinbeck as its title. Obviously, the the Authors content-type couldn't have any required fields other than title. Drupal could assign the author to be the logged in user.<br>
<br>
I'm hoping someone is going to tell me that there is a module for this or that Views2 can even do it already and that I just missed the settings.<br>
