Tell us what you are trying to do?

Assume you have two CPTs ("company" and "employee"). They are connected with a one to many-relationsship (a number of "employees" are working at exactly one "company"). The "company"-posts exist already - and now I want to maintain the "employees" in the front-end.

I want to do this:

1) within a Toolset archive list of "companies", I want to have a link for each "company" displayed, to create a new employee (using an employee form) - and automatically assign the relationsship from the new "employee" to the "company". This should be one step - not first create employee and then second create the relationship.

2) within a Toolset archive list of "companies", I want to have a link for each "company" to display a list of employees assigned to the "company"

3) for each of the "employees" in the displayed list (under no 2) I want a link to modify/change the content of the "employee" post.

4) for each of the "employees" in the displayed list (under no 2) I want a link to delete the content of the "employee" post. This should also delete the relationsship between the existing "company" and the deleted "employee".

I cannot find any toolset documentation/YouTube videos on how to work with forms for CPTs in relationships to achieve above four features.

I hope you understand my explanation and looking forward hearing from you 🙂
