Hi there,

I’m trying to get my head round the way post to post relationships work in Piklist. Here’s what I’ve got set up currently:

• A jobs CPT.
• A contacts CPT.

When editing a Job I have added a field to relate it to a Contact. The Job can only belong to one Contact. The field code looks like this:

piklist( 'field', array(
		'type'     => 'select',
		'field'    => 'related_contact',
		'label'    => __( 'Contact', 'core-functionality' ),
		'relate'   => array(
			'scope'    => 'contact',
		),
		'choices' => array( 'none' => __( 'Choose a Contact', 'core-functionality' ) ) + piklist(
			get_posts( array(
				'post_type' => 'contact',
				'numberposts' => -1,
				'orderby' => 'title',
				'order' => 'ASC',
			) ),
			array( 'ID', 'post_title' )
		),
	)
);

This seems to work fine. The ID of the contact is correctly saved in the ‘related_contact’ field.

Now, when editing a Contact, I would like to pull in the list of related Jobs. However, I can’t seem to get this to work. I’ve tried it the Piklist way:

$related = get_posts( array(
	'post_type'        => 'job',
	'posts_per_page'   => -1,
	'post_belongs'     => $post->ID,
	'suppress_filters' => false,
) );

echo var_dump( $related );

I’ve tried this with ‘post_belongs’ and ‘post_has’ and in both cases $related is an empty array.

I’ve also tried it the WordPress way:

$related = get_posts( array(
	'post_type'        => 'job',
	'posts_per_page'   => -1,
	'meta_query'       => array(
		array(
			'key'   => 'related_contact',
			'value' => $post->ID,
		),
	),
	'suppress_filters' => false,
) );

echo var_dump( $related );

But in that instance I also get an empty $related array.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks for your time.
