Hello,

I recently upgraded from 4.0.7 to 4.1.0 and am having an issue.  When creating (or editing) a custom field set through the admin, when I select "Relationships", only some of the relationships show up.  What I found when looking at the data was that the ones who had a contact subtype in the "B" slot of the relationship (for example: "Organization - Committee") didn't show up.

The existing data that was set up still works in other areas (the field set shows up only for the proper relationship when viewing), but I'm unable to edit these field set settings because the drop-down no longer contains the relevant relationship, and therefore upon saving it saves it as being for the standard Relationship object.

I tried creating a new Relationship from scratch ("Individual" to "Organization - Committee") and it didn't show up either.  I also went to the demo site and tried to recreate this, but was unable to.. the new relationship shows up there.

Yes, the functionality in the site works.. the custom field sets show up for the correct relationships, the subtypes are working correctly, and the custom data is there.  It's just that the relationships no longer show up in the drop down when "Relationships" is selected for "Used For" in the Custom Field Set add/edit screen.

I accidentally saved while editing one custom field set and it seems to have set it to extending the base Relationship object (it changed civicrm_custom_group.extends_entity_column_value from 11 to NULL).  I've tried manually setting the column back to 11 and so far it's not showing back up under the correct relationship type.

Not exactly.. here is a better description.

I edited an existing custom field set (selected the field set and selected "Settings").  I went to change the name of the set, and when I went to save it notified me that "One or more subtypes has been un-selected from the list.  Any custom data associated with un-selected subtype would be removed.  Click OK to proceed."  That was when I noticed that the sub-types of Relationship were not showing up in the drop-down, as mentioned above.

These sub-types of Relationship also do not show up in the drop down when creating a new custom field set, and when I created a new Relationship with data like the above mentioned (where the "B" object was a subtype of Organization), that Relationship did not show up either.

try upgrading to 4.1.2. We'v fixed a few contact sub-type issues there

You might need to re-create the relationships
