I am attempting to use the Maps proximity filter on a view that is displaying an intermediate post type where the location data is stored on the parent post type. Let me clarify:
Affiliates has a many-to-many relationship with Opportunities. Each affiliate has a Location (maps address) custom field. The filtered view needs to show every opportunity in every location, so needs to display the intermediate post type Affiliate-Opportunity. All of this is set up correctly and works great.
I need this view to be searchable by proximity based on Affiliate's Location field, which is the parent of the intermediate post type being rendered in the view. I have tried a few different solutions based on how to accomplish this with other fields and some other tech support tickets, but it doesn't seem like this Maps filter will work through a posts relationship. I may just be missing something, any assistance is greatly appreciated!

demo, letmein
It is not yet possible to filter a View by Fields of a related post.
This is in our to do list, but there is no eta yet.
You would need to build the search by that field in a View where you query by the Post Type that the field is stored against.
Parent Data can only be filtered as a "Parent Post Tree" which means, by a relation.
But not by it's fields or other related data
I have added your voice to the internal request - we are working on this, but as said, there is no ETA yet.
