Hello Meta Box Team,
I found several older feature requests regarding custom fields (relationship metadata) attached to MB Relationships, including discussions dating back several years.
Is there any update on the roadmap for this feature?
I have a use case where relationship-specific data is required.
For example:
CPTs:
Recipes
Ingredients
A Recipe can be connected to multiple Ingredients.
However, for each Recipe → Ingredient connection, I also need to store:
Quantity
Unit (g, kg, ml, tbsp, etc.)
Preparation notes (chopped, diced, grated, etc.)
Optional remarks
Example:
Recipe: Vegan Lentil Soup
Lentils → 250g
Carrots → 2 pcs (diced)
Onion → 1 pc (finely chopped)
Vegetable Stock → 1 litre
The quantity and notes belong to the relationship itself rather than to the Ingredient post, because the same ingredient can be used in different quantities across different recipes.
Is native support for relationship metadata currently planned, or is the recommended approach still to use an intermediary CPT/custom table to model these relationships?
Thank you.
.
