I have three post types ---
1) Company
2) Jobs
3) Job Applications

I want to send an email to the user on application submission using CRED. I am able to include information about the parent post using the relationship item attribute but I am not sure how to show grandparent field (Company Name).

Is there a way to do this in CRED form using the fields and views, and placeholders features?

Hello and thank you for contacting Toolset support.

Well, you can create a custom placeholder that will return the grandparent data. Use the toolset_get_related_post function twice to get the grandparent.

Without custom coding, you will need to use content templates and pass the item attribute to it(Job). And inside of the content template, you will display the parent(Company) post name. Does it make sense?
