Tell us what you are trying to do?

I was planning to create a post type called books, with custom fields for title, writer names and picter
I wanted to integrate the book in the "article" post type whenever it is referenced.
I created a post type called books with custom fields
I created a relation between the two posttypes "books" and "articles"
Now, when I want to select the relation at the bottom of the page it doesnt find any content - please see screenshot
1. What am I doing wrong?
2. Is it really necessary to publish the post type post with the book information. Because it creates an on page, which I completely do not need hidden link

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/adding-dynamic-content-to-your-homepage/

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link
the article page where the additional custom fields for book information should be placed at the bottom
hidden link

Hello,

Q1) Screenshot 1)

Are you going to connect same "articles" post twice time?
If it is, there isn't such kind of feature within Types plugin, you can only connect the same post in same relationship only once.
If it isn't, please check there are two or more "articles" posts in your website are using post title "Walking"

Q2) Is it really necessary to publish the post type post with the book information.
Please elaborate the question with more details:
Are you going to connect current "book" post with another non-published "articles" post?
If it is, you can save the "articles" post as "draft" status, then you can still connect current "book" post with those "articles" posts in draft status, but the "articles" posts in draft status won't display in front-end for guest users.
