Hello i have:
parent post type "contatti"
child post type "corsi"
custom field "data inizio corso" in post type "corsi"

I'm trying to setup a view that allow to display "contatti" that attended to "corsi" >= "data inizio corso"

I can't manage how to do this

Dear CulturaI,

You can try this:
1) Create a view list child "corsi" posts, filter by custom field "data inizio corso":

2) In the view loop, display it's parent "contatti" post information:

Hello Luo thanks for response,

searching only in "corsi" and using $parent it helps a lot, i can display correct informations.

But it returns duplicate informations, for example:

"contatto" - Roberta
"corso1" - data inizio 1/2/2018
"corso2" - data inizio 1/3/2018

Parametric search
"corso data inizio" >= 1/1/2018

it returns 2 times Roberta, i need that it returns 1 only time in view

As you can see there isn't such a built-in feature within Views, if you agree, we can take it as a feature request, our developers will evaluate it.

Yes i think that it could be useful, moreover i would like to filter easily parent posts based on child repeteable parameters (i don't think that it can be done with views).

In my case for example:
parent "contatti"
child "corsi" with custom fields: "livello", "tipo di corso"

I would filter "contatti"based on "corsi" custom fields, but i don't want to see the same "contatto" repeated more times

OK, as your request, I forward it to our supporter Beda, he manages the feature request of Views plugin, but there isn't any ETA to implement this feature, you can subscribe to our blog to get the updated news:
