[Resolved] Can't reference a post reference as a condition?

I am trying to simply use a condition of 'if a custom field has a value then insert that link title + link with an intro text', but the post reference field appears to be *the only* custom field *which isn't* readily available in the conditional drop down.

Why is that? It doesn't seem like it should be any different to the rest. I can get the title/link pulling through no problem if the information is there, but can't simply hide the block if it's empty.

This is on hidden link but obviously can only be viewed on the back end at the moment.

Thanks!

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Normally, this is how you can display the post reference field:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/legacy-features/views-plugin/using-post-reference-fields-to-display-information-from-a-related-post/#displaying-fields-that-belong-to-the-related-post

I'm not sure where you are trying to display the post reference field and based on what custom field condition.

Can you please share all required details where you want to display the post reference field as well as on what custom field you want to check the condition and I would be happy to help you further.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Thanks for sharing access details.

However, I would like to know where you added the text " ‘Read more in our in-depth write-up here: ___’ " as I do not see that text on your page: hidden link

Can you please clarify where exactly you want to add conditional statement using post reference field?
