Tell us what you are trying to do?
I've been studying Toolset's documentation on creating many-to-many post relationships. Looking at your examples of speakers and events, I'm wondering if more than one connection between the same speaker and the same event can be made. For example, if Maria gives two different talks in two different rooms at the same AI Conference, will Toolset allow me to make two separate connections between Sue and the AI Conference?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

https://toolset.com/lesson-placement/lesson-placements-1824625-1727273/

Is there a similar example that we can see?
No

What is the link to your site?
N/A

Thanks!

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

No, that's not possible. In many to many relationships, two posts can be linked only one time. To achieve this use case, I'll suggest using a 3rd custom post type(Talk), that has two one-to-many relationships to speakers and events. This way each talk from a speaker will be a separate post. And you can create two posts for a speaker at the same event.

I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you have any questions.
