Hi Toolset support,

I would like to know if there is any progress on multiple post reference / fields filters. There are multiple topics about this:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/using-multiple-post-relationship-filters-in-custom-search/
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-build-a-parametric-search-filtering-posts-with-two-or-more-parents-types/

In my vision Toolset is build to create powerful directory websites, especially with the post relationships. But at the frontend it's not possible to add more than just one post reference filter for post archives. I 'solved' it now by adding custom fields AND post relationships, but i would like to keep it by just post relationships. I now have to choose the custom field value and post relationship value, which doubles the work. Also you get double fields in post forms because both the custom field and relationship are required.

I have for example the post type Job, Location and Profession, with multiple post relationships. In the Job archive i would like to filter on Location AND Profession. I think a lot of Toolset users are looking for this feature based on post relationships. Is there any ETA on this?

Thanks,
Menno

Hi, there's still no ETA for multiple post relationship filters, unfortunately. It's something our support team has been pushing for, but our developers haven't committed to a delivery date yet. The best course of action right now is to submit your request through the feature request form to let our management know this is really important for your project: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/

Good afternoon.
Is there any news on the implementation of the filtering function across multiple relationships? This is really not enough to implement a site search.

Hi Kaspar, this feature has not yet been added to the software but I encourage you to submit your request to let our developers know you really want to be able to search with multiple post relationship filters. That form is still available here: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
