Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a BPT "Software" that has a collection of fields related to a software solution. Conceptually, I would like to model something like alternativeto.net ... that shows you different solutions. Ideally, there would be CPT "Relationship to Self" type functionality where I could individually select similar solutions to the CPT entry, but I understand that is not possible.

I am curious if there is an ideological workaround, perhaps using categories or tags that would allow me to display "similar solutions".

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No

Is there a similar example that we can see?
hidden link

What is the link to your site?
Not Live... currently writing data model.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

if you want to allow users to connect only one post from the same post type then I suggest you should create a custom select field and use the Types hook: wpt_field_options
