Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hello, do you have any workaround for relating two posts of the same Custom Post Type? I have a CPT named Articles, content managers need to be able to select 4 related Articles to show on the Article Detail page. We imported relationships from Drupal and they appear in the admin view, but the front end display has been unreliable.

Is there an expected release date for self-join relationships? On forum threads it looks like it's been a work in progress for over 3 years?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Hello,

I assume you are going to setup many-to-many relationship between posts of same post type.

If it is, there isn't such kind of built-in feature, it is still in our to-do list as feature request status, I don't think it will be implement soon.

I have added this thread into our to-do list, hope it can raise attention.

And you can add also add a feature request here:
https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
Our developers will evaluate it.
