    I have 2 CPT's:

    • Lead
    • Activity

    Here's my code to create the relationship:

    
    add_action( 'mb_relationships_init', function () {
        MB_Relationships_API::register( [
            'id'   => 'lead_to_activities',
            'from' => [
                'object_type' => 'post',
                'post_type'   => 'lead',
                'meta_box'    => [
                    'title' => 'Activities',
                ],
            ],
            'to'   => [
                'object_type' => 'post',
                'post_type'   => 'activity',
                'meta_box'    => [
                    'title' => 'Lead',
                ],
            ],
        ] );
    } );
    

    When I create a new Activity or update an existing Activity, I want to update the post title/name/slug using values from the custom fields and relationship. I've figured out how to create/update the post title using the custom field values, but just can't figure out how to get the post title from the relationship.

    Here's my create/update title code so far:

    
    function iswp_update_activity_title( $data ) {
        if( $data['post_type'] == 'activity' ) { // Check post type
            if( isset( $_POST['activity_date'] ) ) {
                $title = $_POST['activity_date'] . " | " . $_POST['activity_action'] . " | " . $lead;
                $slug = sanitize_title_with_dashes( $title,'','save' );
                $slugsan = sanitize_title( $slug );
                $data['post_title'] = $title ; //Updates the post title to your new title.
                $data['post_name'] = $slugsan; //Updates the post name aka slug to sanitized version of title.
            }
        }
        return $data; // Returns the modified data.
    }
    add_filter( 'wp_insert_post_data' , 'iswp_update_activity_title');
    

    I just can't figure out what I'm supposed to do to get the $lead to actually return the post title from the related Lead.

    Hi,

    You can use $_POST['lead_to_activities'] to get the submitted relationship value, it is an array of posts (pages) ID.

    Array
    (
        [0] => 1925
        [1] => 1841
    )

    Loop through the array and use the function get_the_title() to get the post title by ID.

    Please can you give an example of the code to achieve this? It is exactly what I need to do but I cannot work it out from your answer above.
