Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to link/add Forum topic to the Single Product through relationship:
- so that I can display topic/topics on the Single Product page (at least links to the associated topics)
- I can display custom fields/view from the Product in the Forum Topic

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

I need more details here based on your structure. Do you mean that you want to establish relationship between two different post types? If yes: have you created a relationship from - Toolset => Relationships?

I've defined multi- relationship Product <-> Forum with Intermediate Post with custom Field from Product post.

I linked Forum to Product in the Product details also there is Intermediate post linked to the Forum.

However intermediate Post does not showup as Topic in the Forum. So the question is how to make Intermediate Post appear as Topic in the Forum.

Please see screenshots, let me know if more clarification is required

Hello,

Minesh isn't available, I will take care of this thread.

As I know, there isn't built-in forum feature within Buddypress plugin, I assume we are talking about bbPress forum:
hidden link
And Woocommerce "Product" post type

There is a post parent relationship between "Topic" post and "Forum" post:

Here are my suggestions:
1) In a single "Product" post, you can setup a nested view:

a) Parent post view:
- Query "Forum" posts
- filter by the post type relationship "product-forum":
https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-display-related-posts-with-toolset/#displaying-many-related-items
- in view's loop display below child post view.

b) Child view:
- Query Query "Topic" posts
- filter by the post parent filter
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/filtering-views-query-by-post-parent/
- and display "Topic" post information

2) Similar as above, in a single "Topic" post, you can get related "Forum" post ID,
hidden link
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/views-shortcodes/item-attribute/
$parent is used to retrieve data from a hierarchical parent if the current post is a type of hierarchical post such as a page. If the reference does not match an existing post, the data from the current post will be returned.

use it to display related "product" posts.

For your reference.
