Hello
I have a new questions about linking articles.

Initially I have authors who own books. With related items and related items backlink I get the list of all books owned by the author in the author type article.

Now I have been asked something else : in the book page I need to show all books from the authors (the same info displayed in the author page)

I have tried to add the 'books owned by author' field from the author type to the book type (a link on the same record type : In this case I get an empty field.

Is possible to link in each book page from the author all the books owned by this author ?

thank you for help
best regards
Michel

This field 'books owned by author' has value for items of Content Type 'author' and your are trying to display it inside an item of Content Type 'book'

The updated Related Items / Related items Backlinks field could possible do this, but this has been disabled to avoid loops
