    Is there a way to add the post2post-connection information to a custom column on the Manage Posts screen? I’m currently using the “manage_edit-columns” filter and “manage_posts_custom_column” action successfully to customise my columns with “regular” meta data, but I wasn’t sure if that method would be appropriate for this data?

    You can use the same method for adding any column.

    Just keep in mind that connection info is stored on the connection itself, not on a particular post, so I’m not sure what exactly you would display in such a column.

    Well, I just want to be able to see in the Manage Posts screen if a post is linked to another post. I imagined it displaying, for example, just the connected post title in a column.

    Not all my posts have connections, and the reciprocal connection is not being created, so it would be nice to have a convenient place to see whether I have to go in to a post to manually create the reciprocal connection.

    Gotcha.

    Note that if you have a connection A->B, it’s not necessary to create another connection B->A. Just set 'reciprocal' => true when defining the connection type.

    Thanks w.r.t 'reciprocal' => true — I thought I had that enabled a few versions ago, dunno how I managed to remove that bit… That helps a lot, thanks…
