Get email field from custom post type to product post

Hi,

I’m trying to get the Email field to my Product post type from a related Seller post type Email field.

I have two post types Seller and Product.

Seller post type has custom fields:

• Bi-directional relationship field to Products so seller is linked to products
• Email field
• Telephone, address etc…

Product post type with fields:

• Bi-directional relationship field to Seller
• Email field (I would like this to fetched from the related Seller post type)
• Additional product information etc…

I’ve looked at multiple examples about post relationships and fields but I haven’t found any examples on how to get a specific field from a related post and display/attach it to a post in the backend.

Any suggestions on where to start or is this even possible?

I think this might be a starting point.

The only thing is that I don’t think this will work in the backend.

<?php

$post_object = get_field('project_name');

if( $post_object ): ?>

    <div>
    	<h4><?php echo get_the_title($post_object->ID); ?></h4>
        <span>Post Object Custom Field: <?php the_field('project_description', $post_object->ID); ?></span>
    </div>
    <?php wp_reset_postdata(); // IMPORTANT - reset the $post object so the rest of the page works correctly ?>

<?php endif; ?>
