Hi! I have one content type (features) that can connect to two different other content types (pages and locations). I'm using a classic view to display the features on the given page or location, based on the intermediary posts. The views contain lots of things like item='@page-arbitrary-feature.child' and item='@location-arbitrary-feature.child'. They're otherwise identical, so I'd love to be able to combine them instead of maintaining a separate view for each relationship. Is there a way to re-write things to use either relationship, instead of just the pages or just the locations?

Hi Matthew,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Given that they are connected by 2 different relationship then you will need 2 different view one to pull the data for each of the relationships. This is mainly because the item attribute value will be different based on the relationship being targeted.

Thanks,
Shane
