How to find repeating field groups that were not assigned to their parent CPT

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: I would like to create a View of RFG that are not assigned to any parent post.

Solution: Use a View of RFG with no post relationship filter, and add a conditional like this:

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-id item="@rfg-slug.parent"]' eq '' )"]  
RFG [wpv-post-title], ID: [wpv-post-id] is an orphan!<br />
You could add an edit post link here, if you'd like.
[/wpv-conditional]

I was working with Christian Cox on this ticket:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-make-the-repeatable-fields-group-on-a-form-default-to-the-parent-cpt/
What is the link to your site?

I would like to ask if Christian could help with this part that we didn't get to when I resolved that ticket:

Excerpt from above ticket:
" I was able to add a room and NOT select the parent"job" the room was added (or so it appears?) but did not get added to the "job". So where is this room now and how to I get it assigned to the job? "

Can someone help me create a view maybe to be able to get all orphaned RFG's... this might be handy as the admin in case I need to help user's locate this information or find unassigned "rooms" once we go live?

Thank you!

You can create a View of RFGs with no post relationship query filter, then add a conditional in the loop that tests the ID of the parent post. If it's empty, then the RFG is an orphan.

[wpv-conditional if="( '[wpv-post-id item="@rfg-slug.parent"]' eq '' )"]  
RFG [wpv-post-title], ID: [wpv-post-id] is an orphan!<br />
You could add an edit post link here, if you'd like.
[/wpv-conditional]

You would have to modify rfg-slug to match your RFG slug.
