I am trying to:
...set 2 different post relationship filters, working in parallel in a custom search.

On a test site, I set an example of directory.
I created 3 different Custom Post Types : Professionals, Professions, Cities.
The Professionals CPT is child of both Professions and Cities CPTs.

In a view listing the Professionals, I'd like to be able to filter them using 2 dropdowns: Profession and City.
But when I'm trying to add a second post relationship filter, the button is greyed.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

I posted the question in a recent article of the blog and Amir answered me that it should work.

Could you help me to clarify this?
Thanks

Dear Sébastien,

Thanks for the feedback, I can see the same issue in my localhost:

when I'm trying to add a second post relationship filter, the button is greyed.

So there isn't such a built-in feature within Views plugin, and I have added it as a feature request, our developers will evaluate it.

This would be hardly a luxury for this directory type of site,
so thank you Luo for adding this as a feature request.

It has been put into our to-do list as a feature request, see the reply from our developers:
https://toolset.com/2018/05/toolset-post-relationships-release/#comment-344869

And there are other similar requests too, for example:

It has already raised our developer's attention.
