hey,
i have created an "events" cpt.
i have a date for each event, but some events have multiple dates (for example a certain weekly class with 4 sessions).
i don't want to create a new event for each of these sessions, but i want the upcoming session to appear in my search (which i've already set up and works).
is there a way to create a start and end date to an event, and then have it displayed all through the time between these dates in the search results?
thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I suggest you to use group of repeating fields and attach it to particular event.
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-groups-of-repeating-fields-using-fields-tables/

This needs to create parent/child relationship between your post type event and new post type sessions which will hold the session related content with start date and end date. Later you should create a view to display parent and child information.

Thx Minesh!
I see your point, but still: if the search will be for "sessions" rather than "events", i might as well just create a different event for each session and give the whole "repeating group" up. also, i have only some events with more than 1 session. most are with a single date.
i think in the mean time i'll create 2 date custom fields, and will conditionally display the 2nd one (end date) if it exists.
cheers
