Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have two CPTs: Distributors and Inventory Products.
I have a relationship between them called Distributor Inventory.
I have the Distributor view set up with a map and search by distance. It works as intended.
Now I want to show all the Distributor Inventory products related to the Distributors that are shown. Multiple Distributors can be shown in the search, so multiple Distributor Inventory products should be shown. I've added a filter to the second view (Distributor Inventory) but it doesn't filter.
An alternative could be 1) searching to show the Distributors, then 2) clicking one of them to show their Distributor Inventory products on the same page. I like both methods and ideally would like to know how to do it both ways if possible.
Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?
I haven't found one.
What is the link to your site?

With the filter above we should see only one Distributor Inventory product at the bottom. I have only 3 products added right now, one for each Distributor.
P.S. My ultimate goal is to have this interact with WooCommerce product variations at some point. If I can include this on a product page, perhaps I can have it update the Distributor Inventory to only show the products related to the WooCommerce variation selected, and also for the location they have chosen. I don't know if I'm dreaming the impossible or if that can be accomplished with some custom JS or PHP... I'd be open to hiring someone for this if necessary.
Thanks for writing back.
For the WooCommerce product variations, the post relationships can't distinguish between them. This means that any relationship that you'll create with a product, will be formed with that product as a whole and not with any particular variation.
If you need to connect different versions of products with distributors posts, it would be best to add them as individual products and not as the same product's variations.
As for the nested views, it is your choice, whether you'd like to use the blocks view or the classic/legacy view for the parent one. But the one that is being nested inside (i.e. the child view) should be a classic/legacy view.
Tip: If you don't have a personal preference or don't specially need any particular feature from the blocks based views, it would be simpler to create both parent and child views using the classic/legacy editor, when nesting is involved.
In the context of the blocks based views, anything that you'll place within the "View Loop" block is within the loop of the view.
( example screenshot attached )
OK, I got the nested child view inside the parent view with a search. The child only displays products when one distributor result is displayed in the parent view. It won't show products for multiple distributors in the search. Is there a way I can change that? I've tried changing the filter options, but nothing worked. I did double check that the relationship is one distributor to many products.
