Is it possible to display fields of grandparents without using a View?

For example, inserting the shortcodes directing into a page template somewhere. Or does this method need the "context" of the View for it to work properly?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - I would like to know here where exactly you want to display the grandparent information? On a single page of the bottom child (the last child post) post in the relationship or you are displaying child posts using the view?

Hello Minesh!

I would like to display this information directly on the last child post.

Hi Ben,

You can use the same method which is mentioned here:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-display-related-posts-with-toolset/displaying-fields-of-grandparents/#3-create-a-content-template-that-displays-grandparent-information

So, considering the following relationship:
- State
-- City
--- Employee

Create new content template and add the fields to it - the top level (state-city relationship slug):

[wpv-post-link item="@state-city.parent"]

Then when you add content template - add the item attribute to content template using the (city-employee relationsihp slug):

[wpv-post-body item="@city-employee.parent" view_template="ct-to-display-state-of-employee-post"]

Thank you Minesh.

This has worked perfectly.
