RLS between two tables

Hi all, 

 

I'm setting up RLS for a report and need to have the security for both of the tables, however when I go to create the second bi-directional relationship I can't because of my date table. I'm using dynamic security and need the table to control both tables

 

What is the solution or best practice around this?  

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

@Anonymous , You can keep the relation single directional and RLS can work without using "Apply Security Filter in both Directions". Make sure RLS table filter the required tables (Filter DIrection )
