When I say dummy field, actually, it will be a actual field that should be added to your child post type that should hold the same value that is saved to your parent post custom field.

Hello,

The problem is I have many children and you have to save the parent's data. It is a lot of work to save the data from the parent to the childs.

I understand but there is no other solution available.

If you can share working admin access details and problem URL let me see if I can able to share any other workaround. As the old access details you shared is not working at this end.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

You need to add the custom field to your child post type and make sure you automatically fill the related value that is saved to parent.

Then, to your child view, you do not need to add any filter but you can add normal GUI filter from your view's search area and add the filter there.
