    Hello,

    I have Project and Task custom post types. I have the relationship connected and some additional custom fields for each of those post types. After adding the relationship, I notice there is only a simple Select/Add Title for related/children posts.

    Is it possible to create children from the parents view? I want to be able to add child task posts from the Admin project View. I looked around at a few things, not seeing anything amongst the available extensions. I was even looking for a custom callback on a custom fields group set, didn't see anything there.

    I have a hacky way of showing a list of all related posts, but i would like to create related records from the parent view.

    Hi Andrew,

    Currently, Meta Box does not have a feature that supports creating a post when editing the current post. Just helps you to select the connected posts.

    Thanks for your idea, I'm going to inform the developer team to consider adding it to the to-do list for the future development of the plugin.

    Thanks, the user experience would be very similar to adding a comment.

    I would also love this functionality. Any progress on that?

    Agreed!! This is a must have feature for me and my project. There is another plugin out there that allows for just this type of thing, but it is not near as robust as Meta Box. Make this feature happen!

    I think I just asked for this in my post "Button Field: Open "Add New" post in modal window."
