[Resolved] Getting data from descendent relationships (parent/child)

I really only need a yes/no answer at the moment as I'm working on some CPT/Custom field/Relationships and want to get my dataset right.

If we start with a parent CPT which is related to a Child CPT which in turn is related to a grandchild CPT can any of those levels access field data from both antecedents and descendants ?

Example. Country/Region/Sub-Region/Town

Case 1 - Can I display the Country on a Town post
Case 2 - Can I display a field from the Town CPT within the Country

I'm trying to avoid duplicating data in all the CPTs so for example I don't want to (or don't think I need to) display the region data in the town CPT. I'm hoping I can get it via the sub-region which is the parent of the town.

Like I said I don't need any help doing it just yet - just need to know it's possible so I can get my dataset sorted out.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Yes - its possible.

Example. Country/Region/Sub-Region/Town
Case 1 - Can I display the Country on a Town post

- To display the last child you need to loop through the child post using the view:
