Hi Luo,

I had another question - but the thread got closed down....
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/not-resolved-cant-access-intermediary-post-field-groups-in-many2many-http500/

I see the "Tracks Clients Field Group", here:
hidden link

very sorry - my mistake.

but I don't see it here, even though it exists - why is that?
hidden link

hidden link is the main site build which I exported into hidden link
So they should be exactly the same.

Thank you.

Hello,

The field group "Tracks Clients Field Group" is a group belongs to an intermediary post type, it is hidden from field group list on purpose:
Dashboard-> Toolset -> Custom field

This is expected result, after import to another website, it should be hidden too.

So if you agree, we can take it as a feature request, our developers will evaluate it.

Currently, you can try these in your original website database:
Use mysql tools, for example phpmyadmin, run below SQL query:

SELECT * FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE `post_id` = 22 AND `meta_value` LIKE 'for_intermediary_posts';

number 22 is the custom field group ID:
hidden link

find the record in database, and remove it manually.

But before any change, please backup your website database first.

so i'm not going nuts after all 🙂
when I said - "one can't access intermediary field groups from "Toolset-> Custom fields"
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/not-resolved-cant-access-intermediary-post-field-groups-in-many2many-http500/
I was correct.

but here the intermediary field groups DO appear under custom fields.
hidden link

I feel like I'm getting contradictory information here.
first you said
"See it in your own website:
1) find the group "Tracks Clients Field Group", and deactivate it
hidden link

and indeed it appears there.

but now your saying:
"The field group "Tracks Clients Field Group" is a group belongs to an intermediary post type, it is hidden from field group list on purpose:
Dashboard-> Toolset -> Custom field"

This is contradictory information and statements
so I'm confused.

Sorry to belabor the point and I guess at this point it doesn't really matter.
I'm glad they worked out the bug.

Thank you for all your help!!
Scott.

In the original website:
hidden link

The field group "Tracks Clients Field Group" is a group belongs to an intermediary post type, it is hidden from field group list, this is expected result.

But in the new sub-site
hidden link

It is imported with Types setting file, the information "group belongs to an intermediary post type" is lost after importing the file, so it conduct the problem:
You can see it in the field group list.

For the bug of your previous thread:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/not-resolved-cant-access-intermediary-post-field-groups-in-many2many-http500/

You can wait for the fix of Types 3.1, then you will be able to edit it here:
Dashboard-> Toolset-> Relationships> tracks-clients, setup the custom field again
