I am trying to:
Manage relationships in the same form where other post fields are edited.
Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
Can't be done so can't be seen as far as I can tell.
I expected to see: I want to add / edit relationships on the same form where the rest of the post is edited. I know I cannot do this on a post form where I am creating the post because it has to exist before the relationships are added but I used to be able to add parents or children when editing a post with CRED. It looks like it has to be done separately with a relationship form now. This is a showstopper to upgrading one client's site that has 158 CRED forms, several that manage relationships!
Instead, I got: I could not see a way to manage relationships in a post editing form.
First things first, what we haven't communicated very clearly is that for existing sites not under active development you can upgrade to Types 3.0 and *not* run the migration wizard, in which case everything will look and work as before.
You only need to run the migration wizard on existing sites where you want to take advantage of the new relationship features and make updates to the site.
That's the intention, that you update and see no difference unless you run the migration. If that's not the case then we would want to address that.
Now, even after running the migration wizard your existing forms should continue to work as before.
You have more options when you use Relationship Forms, but you can still add a parent post selector to a child post form, for example.
The format for the relationship arguments in the shortcode has changed, but if you don't make any updates to your existing forms the old format will still work, and if you make new forms or update existing forms and automatically generate the form markup, the new attribute format will be used.
If you are still unsure, please give me a specific example of a form you are having problems with.
