Tell us what you are trying to do?
Mimic the ACF relation field that allows to simply link a post to other posts of the same CPT

Is there any documentation that you are following?
haven't found really
Is there a similar example that we can see?
ACF basic relation field
What is the link to your site?

Hi,

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

In Toolset, post-relationships and the post reference type field can be used to connect posts of different CPTs, but not the same.

A workaround can be to add a 'number' type custom field and save the ID of the related post(s), in that field.

regards,
Waqar

Hi Waqar
thanks for this clarification, I won't search anymore for something that doesn't exist 😉
For this one, I will use ACF as it is more straightforward for what I need to do right now.
Best
Tom
