Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have created the ability for my user "Employer" to post a job to my site. I have also created a job application form wherein jobseekers can apply for the job. I seem to be really really really struggling with figuring out how to get the job application to become related to the job post. I think I have to possibly create a relationship form for the job application instead? But then how do I get custom fields in the job application form?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/course-lesson/front-end-relationship-forms-for-connecting-posts/
Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

For what you're planning, you can add a new custom post type "Job Applications" and with this post type, you can add the custom fields to collect the information that you need with each job application.

To join Jobs and Applications, you can create a one-to-many relationship between the "Jobs" and "Job Applications" post types, so that one job can have many applications.

This will allow you to create a form to add a new "Job Applications" post, which job seekers will fill and submit to send their applications.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar

Thanks for writing back.

Can you please make sure that the relationship has been created as explained in this guide:

I'll be happy to review how these elements have been set up on your website, if you could share temporary admin login details.

Thanks for the update and glad that it is sorted now.

I've checked your website's post relationships section and the 3 relationships seem to be added correctly.
