Hi,
I'm trying to filter a CPT from its custom fields located in repeatable groups (and nested ones).

I got something like this, as an example :

Product CPT
     > Variation 1 Name
     > Variation 1 Option
          > Option 1 Name
          > Option 1 Desc
          > Option 2 Name
          > Option 2 Desc
     > Variation 2 Name
     > Variation 2 Option
          > Option 1 Name
          > Option 1 Desc

When i try to filter via "Filter by post relationship / repeatable field groups owner" it displays this error :

The ancestors argument does not end with a valid post that is related for the returned post types on this View.

Can you please confirm that i can indeed filter parent CPT by its "fake childs"/repeatable groups custom fields ?

Thanks,
Fabien

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - could you please share problem URL and access details so I can check how you setup your repeating fields group as well as added to your view.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I would additionally need your permission to de- and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. If you agree to this, please use the form fields I have enabled below to provide temporary access details (wp-admin and FTP).

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Well - when I try to load the wp-admin URL, it shows 403 Forbidden error for all URLs you shared.

could you please share working URLs.

Ok - I checked and I confirm that this is not an issue as filtering posts by field of repeating field group is not supported yet.
