What should I consider when I trying to covert an O2O relationship to an O2M relationship?
A few questions -
1) Is this even possible?
2) If yes, how does that impact the current records? Do they still remain relevant?
3) Which other parts of the toolset system do I need to configure to make this work?
Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.
Conversion from a 'one-to-one' to 'one-to-many' relationship is generally safer, since there is no intermediary post type involved.
(intermediary post type is involved in case of 'many-to-many' relationship)
I performed a quick test on my website and conversion from 'one-to-one' to 'one-to-many' relationship worked without any issue.
1) Is this even possible?
- Yes, it is possible.
2) If yes, how does that impact the current records? Do they still remain relevant?
- Yes, the existing post connections will stay intact.
3) Which other parts of the toolset system do I need to configure to make this work?
- No, special changes in the configuration will be needed.
However, parent posts will be allowed to have more than one child post, so for them, you'll need to use a view to show the related child posts, since the "item" attribute can be used to show only a single related post.
I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
