Hello,

I am using ExpressionEngine v2.7.0 and using the new Relationships Field for the first time. I am trying to conditionally render a block of code if the relationship indeed contains any related entries (as you would using Playa).

I am doing a relationship between Projects and Collaborators. The relationship field lives in the Projects data channel.

This is the code I would hope worked:

{if project_collaborators}
<h4>Collaborators</h4>
<p><ul class="collaborators"><br />
     {project_collaborators}<br />
     <li>{project_collaborators:title}</li><br />
     {/project_collaborators}<br />
</ul><br />
<a href="/collaboration">Learn more</a><br />
{/if}

Instead I ended up coding it this way (which works but looks awful):

{project_collaborators}
{if project_collaborators:count == 1}
<h4>Collaborators</h4>
<p><ul class="collaborators"><br />
{/if}<br />
    <li>{project_collaborators:title}</li><br />
{if project_collaborators:count == project_collaborators:total_results}<br />
</ul><br />
<a href="/collaboration">Learn more</a><br />
{/if}<br />
{/project_collaborators}

This last example isn’t that bad, BUT things get much messier in other more complex instances.

I may be missing something simple so forgive my ignorance. If anyone could advice on how to achieve this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
