don't designate collection relationship tables as "system" tables.

So that they can be uploaded to through the work bench.

@maxpatiiuk It looks like the CoR was not established.

For reference:
CollectionRelationship.leftSide has an unhelpful description of leftSide. A better would be Source Collection.

Same for CollectionRelationship.rightSide, which is referred to as Destination Collection in sp6 ui

A more resonable upload:

Am I uploading this incorrectly?

No. CO can not be a base table. See #2090 (comment) for explanation.

Collection Relationship Item should be the base table

@grantfitzsimmons The mapping was wrong.

Here is the correct mapping: https://freshfish-colrelationship-tables-not-sys.test.specifysystems.org/specify/workbench/8/
And the created CO with a relationship: https://freshfish-colrelationship-tables-not-sys.test.specifysystems.org/specify/workbench-plan/8/

Uploading though WB worked for me
