I am trying to:

in functions.php i'm setting the value for key: _wpcf_belongs_address_id to 2778 which is the right parent id. When I do that, there's no parent / child showing in either of the child or parent posts.

When I manually link the parent / child, the parent post id shows as 2780 for some reason instead of the actual parent post id of 2778. When it's 2780, the relationship shows up on the child and parent posts.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:

I expected to see:
i expected to see in the database the parent id being 2778, but it's showing 2780. In the child post (2777), it's showing 2778.

Instead, I got:

Hi, I can see that you're using the new Relationships feature in Types. The process for programmatically relating two posts is no longer based on the _wpcf_belongs_slug_id meta key, so getting or setting that meta value is no longer recommended for new post relationships.

We have a new API, toolset_connect_posts, that should be used instead to programmatically relate two posts. We have another API, toolset_get_related_post, which can be used to get a post parent ID. I recommend you check out the documentation for these new post relationship APIs, and implement them in your code instead of trying to use _wpcf_belongs_slug_id - it's deprecated and won't work for relationships created in the new system.
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/

Let me know if you have questions about these new APIs, and I'll be happy to help.
