I created a Work for the novelette Willa by Stephen King: https://bookbrainz.org/work/7a52fc1f-580f-41bb-b621-742907ff8a1d
I created an Edition for the collection Just After Sunset which contains Willa: https://bookbrainz.org/edition/ce4a392f-c8e6-406b-8080-22191594be8a
I tried adding the Work as a Relationship in the Edition, but Willa does not appear in the dropdown menu.
That is curious. My guess would be that this is an issue with the search results somehow not showing the work as one of the 9 options it returns by default.
Iâll investigate the issue, most likely similar to this ticket: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/BB-497
In the meantime, so that you can continue editing, you can paste the BBID or the full URL of the Work into the relationship editor, and it will be recognized.

Thanks. I typed the URL (I wish I could copy and paste data into the Relationship field, but the system wonât allow it) of the Work and entered it that way. At least there is a workaround.
Ah, thatâs even more surprising !
Are you trying to paste text into the first search field in the relationship editor (the one marked âOther Entityâ?) and that doesnât work?
I am using the latest edition of Google Chrome for Mac.
It happens on certain dropdown menus: Relationships, Publisher, Edition Group. I right click using my mouse to bring up the list of actions and âPasteâ is not there:

I have just encountered another Work that doesnât show in the list of relationships âN.â: https://bookbrainz.org/work/4560235a-05fc-493c-b281-50f1b8634053
It must be due to the character length.
Maybe not, as I found âMuteâ and âAyanaâ without any problems.

Ah, I see the issue now.
It seems that pasting via keyboard shortcut or via the browserâs menu works, but right-clicking on the field does not offer the option to paste.
Iâve created an issue for that: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/BB-527

Unlike young people who use all sorts of shortcuts, I use a mouseđ
