Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have made a repeatable field group in posts for being able to select related posts.
To being able to select other posts I use this code (found on your website):

//dynamically populate select field from Types
add_filter( 'wpt_field_options', 'prefix_custom_options', 10, 3);
   
function prefix_custom_options( $options, $title, $type ){
    switch( $title ){
        case 'Related posts':
            $options = array();
            $args = array(
                'post_type'        => 'post',
                'post_status'      => 'publish');
            $posts_array = get_posts( $args );
            foreach ($posts_array as $post) {
                $options[] = array(
                    '#value' => $post->ID,
                    '#title' => $post->post_title,
                );
            }
            break;
    }
    return $options;
}

I have made a view to show the selected posts in the RFG, but they online show the title (if we typed it by hand in the RFG) or a number (I think it's the post ID) and a url, ending with .../related/rfg-4/ instead of a working url (actual url of the post).

I would like to show the title of the post and the correct url (which can become a link) in the view, but I don't know how to edit the above code to get the correct data.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

What is the link to your site?
It's our accept environment, behind a firewall. I can't publish it online.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

When populating options of the custom field dynamically using the 'wpt_field_options', as shown in your code, it stores the selected post's ID as the raw custom field value.

Assuming that the slug of your custom field is 'related-posts', that post ID can be accessed using the Types Fields API shortcode:
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/ )

[types field='related-posts' output='raw'][/types]

And you can then use this post ID, in the "wpv-post-link" shortcode to generate a post link with the title, through the 'item' attribute:
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-link )

[wpv-post-link item='[types field='related-posts' output='raw'][/types]']

Or to get the URL of that post, you can use the 'wpv-post-url' shortcode:
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-url )

[wpv-post-url item='[types field='related-posts' output='raw'][/types]']

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance with this.

regards,
Waqar
