Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hi, I need some help creating a form.

I have 3 custom post types: Taskforces (slug=taskforce), Profiles (slug=profile) and Documents (slug=document)
I have 2 relationship:
taskforce-document (One Taskforce to Many Documents)
taskforce-profile (many to many)

Basically, a WordPress user is a Profile Author and a Document Author.

So, I want to create a form to insert a new document and to do this i need to populate the relationship field taskforce-document only with options available for the profile of the same author.

I tried this:

<div class="form-group">
<label>[cred_i18n name='@taskforce-document.parent-label']Taskforces Documents[/cred_i18n]</label>
[cred_field field='@taskforce-profile.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' select_text='--- not set ---' required='false' author='$current']
</div>

...but it doesn't work.

Maybe I have to create a View (all the Taskforces related to the Profile) to populate the relationship field?

Thanks in advance for help!

Hi Paolo,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Using the author='$current' attribute should only give the posts by the current author. If this is not working then there might be a conflict of some sort.

Can you temporarily disable all the non-toolset plugins and check again to see if the same issue remains ?

If it does then can you provide me with admin access to the so that I can have a look.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane,
I don't think it's a concflict problem.
Basically I think it's a problem of Parent/Child relationship but I don't know how to use it.

CONDITION: I am the owner of a PROFILE. PROFILES are connected with TASKFORCES with a relationship field. It's mandatory because a user can only interact with specified Taskforces.
Every USER can also ADD a a custom Post Type Called DOCUMENT. Every DOCUMENT has a MTM relationship with Taskforces.
In the Post form to add a new DOCUMENT, I would like the user to be able to choose only from Taskforces selected by the admin in custom post Type PROFILE (with a relationship field TASKFORCE/PROFILE.
My target is to use in the POST FORM to add a DOCUMENT, the relationship field TASKFORCE/DOCUMENT but FILTERED by the relationship TASKFORCE /PROFILES.

If will be necessary I have to install another test site for privacy reasons and I'll create a a new admin user for you.

Thanks in advance.

Excuse Me Shane,
In the last ticket there was an error. The relationships are:
taskforce-document (One Taskforce to Many Documents)
taskforce-profile (many to many)

Hi Shane,
Fortunately, I solved the problem with a different logical approach. So I no longer need help.
Thanks a lot anyway

Hi Shane,
basically I got around the problem not assigning the relationship to the document but only to the profile.
