Register fields with WP GraphQL about poet HOT 4 CLOSED

What are you expecting when adding them to admin_cols? For a true/false value to show up in the Post list screen?

In any case, I don't think this is related to Poet.

from poet.

We have a custom post type called "release" that we have flagged to 'show_in_graphql' as shown below. This successfully adds the custom post type to the GQL schema. Everything works there.

'post' => [
'release' => [
'supports' => ['title', 'thumbnail'],
'show_in_rest' => true,
'labels' => [
'singular' => 'Release',
'plural' => 'Releases',
],
'admin_cols' => [...]
],
'show_in_graphql' => true,
'graphql_single_name' => 'release',
'graphql_plural_name' => 'releases',
],

However, each custom field that you want exposed to the GQL schema also needs to be explicitly added. The documentation shows this being done as the field group is added to ACF. I'm not sure if/how this might map into poet. I tried adding it into the admin_cols section both as an attribute of admin_cols, and as attributes of a give field and neither one worked. My goal is to see the custom fields (in this example case "artist") in the GQL schema, so I could query them like so:

query GetPosts { releases { nodes { artist } } }

'admin_cols' => [
'artist' => ['post_field' => 'artist',
'meta_key' => 'artist',
'show_in_graphql' => true,
'graphql_field_name' => 'artist_group',],
...
],
'show_in_graphql' => true,
'graphql_field_name' => 'admin_cols',
],

Sorry for the late reply.

This wouldn't be related to Poet. admin_cols simply lets you add more columns to the list of posts in the backend.

You need to add show_in_graphql to your field group its self when registering it.

If you're using ACF Composer, you can do it when you initialize FieldsBuilder like this:

$example = new FieldsBuilder('example', [
    'show_in_graphql' => true, 
    'graphql_field_name' => 'My field name',
]);

We ended up calling register_graphql_fields and acf_add_local_field_group and register_post_type in setup.php. Less concise, but it worked!
