Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have a custom post of Artist and of Art. When using the Essential Grids plug in and displaying a grid of my Art, it's shows the title of the Art post automatically. Essential Grid allows you to show custom fields within the grid skin editor but I'm not sure what the custom field name is to map it.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
hidden link

Is there a similar example that we can see? yes see screen shots

What is the link to your site? -just a demo server right now

Hi Larry,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

In order for you to show the parent title you will need to use our views shortcode.

Take a look at the link below and let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Ok, so no way to convert a views shortcode to a piece of metadata that Essential Grids could consume. Too bad. Thanks!
