Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a view loop of post A, and i want to create a link that once pressed will connect this post A to a specific post B (I have post B ID passed by URL). I have also created relastionship between post A and B.

If you want to connect two posts on the front end without using a relationship form then it would be a wholly custom implementation.

Your link would trigger some JS that used ajax (or maybe a custom REST API endpoint) to trigger code on the server which then used the relationships API (specifically, toolset_connect_posts: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_connect_posts) to connect the posts.

Probably easier to include a relationship form directly in the output of your View and pre-populate and hide the post selectors so that you just show a button to connect posts.

So it's possible to pre-populate a form relationship of parent and child? I have read that it's possible only once! Please let me know how to do this.

Best regards

If you are using post relationship form then it offers the attribute parent_item and child_item using which you can pre-populate the parent and child item within the post relationship form.

For example:

[cred-relationship-form form='your-form' parent_item='999' child_item='111']

You will require to pass correct parent and child IDs to parent_item and child_item respectively.
