Hey John, sorry for bringing this up again, but since I was having a hard time explaining the issue, I decided to just poke around until I figured it out but I’m still having problems.

I think a simpler explanation is that the default way of displaying my posts in the relationship field is like this:

Bios
Jack Brown
Jane Smith
John Doe

Resumes
Jack Johnson
James Thompson

But I need the results to simply display like this:

Jack Brown
Jack Johnson
Jane Smith
James Thompson
John Doe

So no grouping by post type. I’ve poked around in the code and the get_ajax_query function calls the function acf_get_grouped_posts which groups the results by post type, and as far as I can see there’s no way to bypass the grouping function. So I’m thinking I need to create a custom ACF Relationship field/plugin that doesn’t call the acf_get_grouped_posts. I just want to check in real quick and see if I’m missing something before doing that, since it’s not an ideal solution.

Thanks you!
