Hello,
I am creating a music site. I created album, song & people custom post types, setup parent-child relationship between album & song but I am stuck with people.
Basically people can be music director, composer, lyricist, playback singer etc...
Now when I am adding an album or song, I want to also specify music director, composer, lyricist, singer but without creating separate people roles. The reason is that some people have multiple roles. For e.g. Anand Raj Anand is an music director, composer, lyricist and playback singer. So if I were to create people roles as separate custom post type i.e. director, composer, lyricist, singer etc..., then I will also have to create the same people multiple times in respective custom post types.
Do you think there is an easy way to do this.
Thanks in advance,
Alok
Dear Alok,
I can't think of a way to do what you want at the moment. We do have a new type of field in our feature list that will soon be released. This type of field will allow to have a dropdown of posts and storing the post id of the chose one.
Let me ask the developers what the status is for this new feature and Ill get back to you.

Hello,
That sounds great. I think this is what I was looking for.
Just to confirm, will I be able to create people archives using this new feature so that visitors can see a list of albums or songs people have performed in. For e.g. someone might be interested in a list of songs from a particular singer.
Thanks,
Alok
Dear Alok,
Yes, you will be able to do that.
