I have a post type called airport. Every airport has a code which is saved as custom field. I use the same code as a tag for the blog section when the blog post is about that airport. Can I create a view for the airport that shows the posts about that airport based on the code?

Hello,

I think it is possible within Toolset plugins, for example:
In single blog post, you can create a nested view:
1) Parent taxonomy view:
- Query terms of taxonomy tag
- filter by:
Taxonomy is set by the page where this View is inserted
- in View's loop, display below child post view shortcode, and pass term's title value as shortcode attribute "airportcode", like this:
[wpv-view name="CHILD-POST-VIEW-SLUG" airportcode="[wpv-taxonomy-title]"]

2) Child post view:
- Query airport posts
- filter by:
Select items with field:
wpcf-code is a string equal to VIEW_PARAM(airportcode)
- in view's loop, display airport post in formation.
