Mr. DJ

I am trying to (Example):
CPT: Location
Child: People

CPT: People
Parent: Location

When i create a location-item i cannot select a existing people-item (Screenshot1).
But when i create a people-item i can (Screenshot2).

I visited this URL:
/

I expected to see:
When i create a location-item i get both options ( screenshot 1 ) and ( screenshot 2 ).

Instead, I got:
Only one option (screenshot1) or (screenshot2), iknow i can reverse the relationships.

HI there

Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, you are right. Parent-child relationships are a little asymmetrical: a child can select an existing parent, but when editing a parent you can only create new children and not assign existing ones.

The next development cycle on all Toolset will be focused on enhancing and improving the post relationships. I will make sure that this gets addressed there as an important usability request.

Hope it helps.

Regards.
