    I am rolling my own REST API endpoint using some of your code. I want to pick out certain sets of field to include in my endpoint. My main dilemma is that your rest api response shows values for the posts as ID and I need them as the post title. So I am looping through my group fields and also my relationship fields. In the group fields, there is a meta key value to call out the fact that is a group field. In your code you use in_array to accomplish this. Can you add the same meta key to a relationship field? It goes with the stuff like placeholder, name, id, field type, etc. Thank you!

    Hi Clayton,

    Sorry for the delay. Are you using MB Rest API or you’re going to write a custom endpoint?

    I’m not sure how you loop through fields. Can you give more details on that?

    I am writing my own endpoint.

    But i don’t need help with the rest api. I need a field setting to be added to the Relationship field so I can distinguish it from other fields. I am using rwmb_get_object_fields to get all fields for an object then trying to single out the relationship fields with an in_array of some sorts. I can do this just fine for groups fields since there is a field setting type => group in that array. I would like something similar in the Relationship field. Just one little key value pair since the field_type key is already taken.

    I got it. Can you try differentiate the relationships fields by ID? Their IDs are always {$rel_id}_from or {$rel_id}_to.

    After I found all object fields for a post object. I looped through each field and used this conditional to make sure I was grabbing a relationship field.

    if ( 'post' === $field['type'] && strpos( $field['id'], '_to' ) !== false && strpos( $field['id'], '_from' ) !== false )
