RelationController
        
        Uses a combination of lists and forms for managing Model relations.
    
    
 class Backend\Behaviors\RelationController
extends Backend\Classes\ControllerBehaviorThis behavior is implemented in the controller like so:
public $implement = [
    \Backend\Behaviors\RelationController::class,
];
public $relationConfig = 'config_relation.yaml';
The $relationConfig property makes reference to the configuration
values as either a YAML file, located in the controller view directory,
or directly as a PHP array.
