I created a custom type with multiple user reference fields. Both user reference fields have "reverse link" enabled. I see both users on the page after I create an instance of the custom type, but only one of the two users have a reverse link back to the related content from their profile page. In each case, the reverse link only works for the second user reference field added.

More info:

- I can just go with one user reference field and configure it to allow two values and things work...but not with two user reference fields.

- The appearance of the link from the content page to a referenced user's profile is very unreliable. It appears at times and not at other time...when it is just rendered as static text. The reverse link is always rendered as a link when it appears.

BTW, this test is being run on a fresh Drupal 6.9 install...fresh database...with only one add-on module - CCK.

Please try with CCK -dev, we fixed a few things in this area.
Do not hesitate to reopen if the problem is still around.

Thanks...but I need a fairly stable release. I'll wait for a new drop...and go with a single user reference that allows the admin to select two values for now. That does work.

Thanks again.

I've noticed this with the 2.2 release. 4 user reference fields, only last field creates a reverse link on the user's profile.

I believe this patch fixes it, you were overwriting the column name with the last found column name, changing the column entry into an array fixed it for me
