Tell us what you are trying to do?

My website has a custom post type of jobs with another custom post type of applications which is setup as a child to jobs. I have set up a view wherein the output of the application is presented.
I am dealing with a few different custom post types:

1. Jobs
2. Employer
3. Jobseeker
4. Applications

The problem I am having is jobseeker is the author of application with jobs being the parent of application. I have created a view to list all job application but I would like to further filter that view so users can view all job applications that are relevant to their jobs, but I cannot seem to figure out how to filter based on a child's parent.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
No
Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not that I know of

What is the link to your site?

Hello,

I assume we are talking about one-to-many relationship between post types "Jobseeker" and "Applications".

It is possible to search child "applications" posts by "Jobseeker" parent post title, see our document:
