      Two questions on post-relate:

      – Is conditionally showing/hiding a post-relate field unsupported? Adding a condition to it doesn’t do anything, it always remains visible.
      – Is it possible to include multiple post types in the scope?

      @pupppet– Showing/hiding seems to be a bug with the relate field. Supporting multiple scopes is interesting. I just tested multiple scopes like this 'scope' => array('post','page') and it seemed to work, but throws a bunch of warnings since most Piklist functions are not expecting an array. We’re going to have to think through if, and how, we want to support this.

      I’m trying to think through a context in which it would be advantageous to have a single post-relate field with multiple post types versus a field for each one. I mean, Piklist aside, you get one field per taxonomy.

      @puppet – Is there a reason to merge them instead of splitting them into multiple fields?

      If we can get that conditional post-relate field bug fixed, there wouldn’t be a need to split them up as you could show/hide whichever post-relate is required. But I could see a situation where you may want multiple post types in the single post-relate field, for example if you have a large number of post types you aren’t necessarily going to want to have a large number of these post-relate fields conditionally showing/hiding, you’re bogging down the client with a lot of near duplicate code (not that it’s the end of the world or anything). ACF5 has a nifty post type dropdown to filter post-types you can include in its equivalent of Piklist’s post-relate field, might be a nice thing to copy.

      Can I crack this thread open again? I’m trying to get a Post Relate field to show conditionally and ran into this bug – in my case the Post Relate field stays hidden no matter what selection is made on the controlling field.

piklist('field', array(
  		   'type' 		=> 'radio',
		   'field' 		=> 'portfolio_type',
		   'label' 		=> __('Company Type'),

piklist('field', array(

	)
      )

      @dryan1144–

      Yup… this still doesn’t work 😉

      We currently rethinking the Post Relate field. If you need this type of functionality right away, you may want to try a standard checkbox:

        piklist('field', array(
    'type'     => 'checkbox',
    'field'    => 'portfolio_relate',
    'label'    => __('Add Ons'),
    'value'    => 'platform',
    'choices' => piklist(
      get_posts(
         array(
          'post_type' => 'post'
          ,'orderby' => 'post_title'
         )
         ,'objects'
       )
       ,array(
         'ID'
         ,'post_title'
       )
    ),
    'conditions'  => array(
      array(
        'field'  => 'portfolio_type',
        'value'  => 'platform'
      )
    )
  ));

      Let us know if that works for you.

      Thanks for the code – it works well enough except for the fact that the list of options can easily get ridiculously long in this particular situation. Unless we set a height on the checkbox container and scroll…

      Interested to see what you guys have coming for the Post Relate field, it’s one I use often. I’m sure you’ve seen how CMB/CMB2 does theirs – basically a search/dropdown select with a repeater field. Really nice UI.

      Thanks for the help.
