Custom Module, Relationship field blank after saving

I’ve created a very simple custom module.

a single text field: “role”

After deploying I’ve set up relationships between the new module and Accounts / Contacts

The relationship is Many-One with the custom module being on the one side.

I’ve added the relationship fields to the custom module, all appears fine. When trying to link to the relationship using the fields after saving the fields turn blank. The only way is to add the record from the sub panel from either Accounts or Contacts, where the related field will be filled. However, you can’t set the other value.

Can someone give me any ideas what could be going wrong here?

thanks
