Hi Tyler

Thanks for the feedback. This is Juan, Toolset team leader.

For historical reasons, legacy Types parent-child relationships and hierarchical relationships were managed in the same way by our post forms: they were displayed and saved almost in the very same way.

While working on this many-to-many project, we had to separate them. To do so, we kept the code to manage legacy relationships (for sites that will not upgrade their Types data) and we introduced new pieces for managing the new relationships structures. While doing so, we extracted the hierarchical relationships to be managed elsewhere, but we did nto complete the task, as you see, and the frontend selector for those fields is not getting properly displayed.

I just added a very high priority task to our internal system to right this wrong. In the end, hierarchical parent selectors will work like any other related post selector we are providing in the beta: it will be a rich select instance, with autocomplete and search, and you will be able to properly apply sorting conditions to the offered options, as well as filtering them by post author.

We will include this in out first stable release, which is just some weeks away.

Hope it helps.

Regards.

Juan, thank you for the insight! Will there be any issue with me making the transition to the final production version for relationships and CRED or will it be pretty seamless?

Not at all, there should be no problem and the upgrade will be smooth.
