I’ve made some great progress with Abstract Post Types<\/strong> – but have now hit a wall<\/p>\n

I have added the post types – got them linked and showing in the edit event screen nicely<\/p>\n

If I select from some previously created linked Abstract Post Types<\/strong>, they save!<\/p>\n

All so good so far<\/p>\n

Now – the issues<\/p>\n

Does anyone have a code snippet for quickly outputting the linked Abstract Post Type to a UL? I guess I need to use tribe_get_linked_post_types or tribe_has_linked_posts_by_post_type<\/p>\n

And the other issue, I have enabled creation of the post types from the event screen – so it should work in the same way as venues do – but it doesn’t – it doesn’t save at all when I save the main event – is there something obvious that I have missed?<\/p>\n

My code snippet is as per below<\/p>\n
