Problem: SharePoint Hosted apps need to use their own site collection (app site collection) to hold list data. In this post I look at setting up 2 lists that are related. To clarify what I am trying to achieve I have created an Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) below.
Initial Hypothesis: Provisioning fields, content types, list definitions, list instances and seed data is fairly similar between SP2010 and SP2013 within an App. The VS2012 tooling is good OOTB and I am using a few simple xml based tweaks to get them working as I like them.
Resolution:
Open VS2012 ensure you have the SharePoint developer addin and create the Question list as shown below.
Amend the list to show your fields:
Hit F5 to debug the App, edit the url to view the list you created. My url after I edited it is shown below:
http://dev-d8f436fea036f6.apps.dev.local/KB-SPHostedApp/Lists/Question
Repeat the list setup process in VS for the "Comments" list. We will start from the step where you add the related look to the Posts list.
Working Result:
