I am trying to understand the Alfresco associations. I have understood the concept behind peer association as well as parent child association with examples.

I am referring their official docs example (peer association) : http://docs.alfresco.com/5.2/tasks/dev-extensions-content-models-tutorials-add-association.html

Question: I am not following how mandatory and many parameters can be used within source? Most of examples, I have seen, those are set to same as target. Can anybody explain the use-case where I can set many is true in source and false in target with real use-case/example?

Suppose you have a Contract and you want to associate it with a Customer. This is a Many-to-One relationship. A Contract is associated with only one Customer (target, many=false) but a Customer can have many Contracts (source, many=true).
