The title might be mislead but I didn't know exactly how I was going to place text to describe my query.
Basically, I have this type of scenario to tackle:
Basically, when a user add a new job, there is a content picker which will choose clients associated with the job.
Then,, user can add multiple Job Instructions for the job. Now, Job instruction need to have a list of Job Split, which means that for each client selected in the Job Node need to set a number (percentage).
So if selects 3 clients, for each job instruction, I need to have three places, text-strings, where I can set the percentage value for each client.
I would appreciate any help or enlightenment regarding my query.
I'm not sure on what your query is. I'm guessing it is, "How the hell do I model this in Umbraco?"
You could just create a custom property editor and store all the data as JSON in the db.
Alternatively you could just save all this data in your own custom DB tables and keep it out of Umbraco all together. If you write a dashboard widget then you can still have your UI for editing this within the back office.
I have already implement it the tables as document types in umbraco, but when comes to thing where I would need fields according to the clients chosen from the content picker, I'm stucked.
You might be able to get away with using nuPickers and one of the DotNet data sources. That passes a context id (which I'm guessing is the page id) to your IDotNetDataSource class and you could then do the relevant work in C# in order to return the correct value.
