List selection

[JoshTango]

I can not see how you add content items to a list in the editor. In Orchard CMS there was a popup dialog and I could select one or many items. I don't see that in Orchard Core. Is there a document showing how to do this? Preferably one with screenshots

You can't add existing ones, just add new ones right now.

[JoshTango]

But in the future we can add existing ones? If so how many sprints away? Also I would like the ability to have content items belong to more than one list. For example I want to create a content type called LearningModule which has a list of Lessons. But a Lesson could belong to more than one LearningModule.

That's what list is doing. But in this case you might not need the List content type, just a field that will reference other content items, and this way we can keep the List as it is. This will be available soon I assume as we have someone already working on it.

Yes I noticed there is a content picker field in the old version but the content items were displayed horizontally rather than displayed in a nice list. Maybe the new core version will require making a template for how the children are displayed

[JoshTango]

Content picker field will not work for my needs. I need to pick existing items and be able to order them how I want. In the list so far I can not see how to pick items. I am watching and learning your new cms.
