Are "related" items reciprocal?

oxband · February 27, 2013

I am doing citations and noticing that when I tag an item as related to the note that I'm currently writing, the tag isn't reciprocal. So, if I make a note in item 1 saying it's related to 2, item 2 does not get marked as related to item 1 automatically. Is that right? For some reason, I thought these were reciprocal. Or at least used to be.

I don't think they ever were, but have a look at Zutilo:

specifically the "relate items" function.

They should be reciprocal, and are for me.

They are reciprocal for me too.
