Hi,

I have 2 CPTs – Job Advertisement and Role. Each Job advertisement (or a notice) can have multiple roles.

I am trying to create a admin form for job notice which will allow me to add multiple roles (in place) to a job notice. I am using group field to do this. There is a demo for group related which adds multiple posts to a demo (wp-content/plugins/piklist/add-ons/piklist-demos/parts/meta-boxes/field-relationship.php).

The demo works regular posts. I cannot get it working for a custom post type.

here’s my code :

<?php
/*
Title: My custom fields
Post Type: job_notice
*/
?>

<?php

piklist('field', [
	'type' =>   'group',
	'label' =>  'Add Role',
	'relate' =>  array('scope' => 'post'),
	'add_more' => true,
	'fields' => array(
		array('type' => 'hidden', 'field' => 'post_type', 'value' => 'role', 'scope' => 'post'),
		array('type' => 'hidden', 'field' => 'post_status', 'value' => 'publish', 'scope' => 'post'),
		array('type' => 'text', 'field' => 'post_title', 'label' => 'Role Name', 'columns' => 6, 'scope' => 'post'),
		array('type' => 'number','field' => 'number_of_posts' ,'label' => 'Number Of Posts', 'columns' => 3, 'scope' => 'post_meta')
	)
]);

I expect to create roles having fields – post_status, post_title, number_of_posts that are related to the parent job_notice.

What I get – Roles get created with fields: post_status, post_title.
The field number_of_posts gets saved as a job_notice field inside its post_meta.

Also the add mores do no retain the entered values and show the text boxes as empty.

Is this a bug with field relationships ? Can you add some tutorial on group / relationship fields. The fields documentation page says “coming soon” at https://piklist.com/learn/doc/relationships/. It is really hard to implement CPT – CPT relationship similar to the one that demo shows.

Thanks.
