[Resolved] Can’t Add Relationship Field to Form

OK, I'm feeling stupid. I setup a relationship between two post types. When editing a child in the backend of WP I can set the parent just fine. When I'm crafting the form to front-end edit the child post, I cannot figure out how to add the field for the relationship parent picker.

I've looked at the instructions on this page https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/selecting-parent-posts-using-forms-create-child-items/ but I don't have a button called "Add Post Fields". I have "Add Fields" but there's nothing available there for relationship fields. I'm sure I've missed a basic step. Can you point me to the right place to manually add the parent relationship picker field to a form?

Additional details for you. The relationship is many-to-many. I'm also unable to create a relationship form. When I visit Relationship Forms the button to create a new one is dimmed and not active. Something is preventing me from creating a relationship field in a form, as well as creating a relationship form. Hmmmm

Hello,

This is expected result, the Toolset post form does not support many-to-many relationship yet, it is still in the feature request list：
https://toolset.com/feature-request/?wpv_post_search=Extend+current+Post+Forms+to+allow+Many+To+Many+Connections&wpv_view_count=686737

I suggest you add your vote on it.

And currently, you can try with the relationship form to setup relationships between existed posts, see our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-build-front-end-forms-for-connecting-posts/

For the problem:
I'm also unable to create a relationship form. When I visit Relationship Forms the button to create a new one is dimmed and not active

This problem is abnormal, please check these:
1) You are using the latest version of Toolset plugins
2) make sure the there is many-to-many relationship in your website:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Relationships
See screenshot Relationships.JPG
3) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2019, and test again

Thanks for the clarification, from the documentation I was reading I didn't understand many-to-many relationships didn't support the features I was trying to use.

Regarding my inability to create a relationship form. I disabled all plugins except for Toolset, changed to 2019 theme, I also enabled debugging. It's still not working. I checked an there's nothing in the debug log file. Nothing in the PHP error log either.

What would you suggest to further debug my problem?

Please provide database dump file(ZIP file) of your website, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks

Thanks for the details, I am downloading the files, will update here if there is anything found

Here is what I found, it is a known issue of Types plugin 3.2.2, which is fixed in the latest version of version 3.2.3.
You can download it here:

I have tied it with your database dump file, it works fine, see screenshot relationship-form3.JPG
