Entries of different collections in relation field

Discord Q&A strapi-questions
1

I wonder why its not possible to have a relation field that allows selecting entries of different collections.
I have a button component and want to use a “link” field using a relation field

Lets say I have two collections: Page and Post.

I want to be able to select an entry from one of the two collections.

Is that possible somehow? Or if not, as it looks like, any ideas on how to achieve that?

Any help very much appreciated,
Thanks!

I found this feature request: Add support for multiple content types to component relational fields · Issue #12552 · strapi/strapi · GitHub but it was closed because of being a duplicate of a seemingly totally unrelated issue?

This is possible using custom json fields but it s going to be fragile

4

E.g. no transfer support

The approach you can look on this plugin GitHub - antokhio/strapi-plugin-categorizer

6

Is to create json custom fileld that uses custom api to create a ‘config’ that allows to create an actual relation in lifecycle

7

However it would not solve your exact issue that approach could be used to create your issue solution

Thank you for your answer! Ok that looks very complicated :confused: I guess this will have to wait …
