[Resolved] How to show great grandfather post WYSIWYG in the right format on a child post

I have a great-grandchild post - an "expert match" that needs to show the "project prompt" post (great grand father post) description. I can get the data from user_meta but I am not sure how to maintain the format of the WYSIWYG field. The types shortcode doesn't have an option for a post ID so I can't use that to retrieve the data in the right format.

my current code

 
<?php global $post;
$problem_statement_description = null;
$expert_match_id = $post->ID;
if( $expert_match_id != null){
$expert_review_request_id = toolset_get_related_post($expert_match_id, 'expert-review-request-to-expert-match', 'parent', array('post_status' => 'publish'));
	if($expert_review_request_id != null) {
	$project_submission_id = toolset_get_related_post($expert_review_request_id, 'project-submission-to-expert-review-request', 'parent', array('post_status' => 'publish'));	
	if( $project_submission_id != null) {
	$project_prompt_id = toolset_get_related_post($project_submission_id, 'project-prompt-to-project-submission', 'parent', array('post_status' => 'publish'));
	$problem_statement_description = get_post_meta($project_prompt_id, 'wpcf-prompt-description', true);
	}
	}
}

echo $problem_statement_description;

?>

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

The code you shared to fetch the great grand parent looks ok to me but I do not understand what you mean by ". The types shortcode doesn't have an option for a post ID so I can't use that to retrieve the data in the right format."?
OR
Where exactly you are facing the issue?

The text shows inline and linebreaks are lost.

For example,
<b>This text</b>
Context
context goes here

Objective
Objective goes here

Format
just a presentation Resources (if any) Not right now.

<b>changes to </b>
Context context goes here Objective Objective goes here Format just a presentation Resources (if any) Not right now.

What if you try to use the Types PHP API function types_render_field() instead of get_post_meta():

For Example:

echo types_render_field( 'prompt-description', array( 'item' => $project_prompt_id ) );
