Hi,
I'm trying to create single post template for my website, the single post will include the information of it's parent relationship.
Eg: A real estate project features the information about it's project location and agent.
I went through the "real estate" Toolset template and learned how to setup, however the front-end using css to customize is frustrating, so I'm using Elementor single template instead. Everything was fine with Elementor dynamic field except I could not find a way to display the parent relationship in a single template.
Is there anyway to achieve this? Thank you
Hi,
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
There are a couple of ways you can achieve this:
1. Using the "item" attribute:
If you just need to show the data from a single or a few fields from the parent post, you can use the "item" attribute with the Types Fields API shortcodes ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/ ) and the View's shortcodes ( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/#displaying-data-2 ) which show an individual post's data.

Examples:
Assuming that on your website, these are the slugs for the parent, child and the post-relationship:
Parent post slug: project-location
Child post slug: real-estate
Relationship slug: project-location-real-estate
To get the value of the custom field with slug "example-field" from the parent post:
[types field="example-field" item="@project-location-real-estate.parent"][/types]
To get the title of the parent post, using the "wpv-post-title" shortcode:
[wpv-post-title item="@project-location-real-estate.parent"]
2. Using a post view:
If you'll need a collection of values from that parent post, it would be better to create a post view to show the related parent post's data and then call that view in your child post's template.
Here is a guide on the topic:

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
