[Resolved] Post relationship disappeared after adding a field to intermediary post type

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem: The intermediary post type in my M2M post relationship has disappeared from the main dashboard menu.

Solution: Edit the intermediary post type in Toolset > Custom Post Types and be sure the Options show_ui, show_in_menu, and publicly_queryable are active.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
In an existing post relationship I added a field group and a custom field to the intermediary post type.

After that the intermediary post type disappeared in the admin menu on the left side and is not anymore available as a post type in views.

Posts are still connected and shown on the website, even after deleting the cache

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?
See screenhot

What is the link to your site?

Hello, if you go to Toolset > Post Types, can you edit the Termine Personen post type? If so, please find the "Options" panel and verify these options are checked:
- show_in_menu
- show_ui
- publicly_queryable

Please let me know what you find out.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

You were right. Two checkboxes were missing. They must have been unchecked when adding the custom field in the intermediary post type.
- show_ui
- publicly_queryable

I have not been on Toolset > Post Types before to change anything...so much to learn with toolset.

Now I am on the right path to solve my issue, thank you for your help
