The implementation of this new content relationship field has been added to the latest beta version.

To use it, you can use the following configuration:

"frontMatter.taxonomy.contentTypes": [
{
      "name": "project",
      "pageBundle": false,
      "fields": [
        {
          "title": "Title",
          "name": "title",
          "type": "string",
          "required": true
        },
        {
          "title": "Session",
          "name": "session",
          "type": "contentRelationship", // This is the new field type
          "contentTypeName": "session", // Name of the content-type to link
          "contentTypeValue": "slug", // The type of link/value you want to add. This can be slug, or path. 
          "required": true
        },
        {
          "title": "Session path",
          "name": "sessionPath",
          "type": "contentRelationship",
          "contentTypeName": "session",
          "contentTypeValue": "path",
          "required": true
        }
      ]
    }
]

@adrian-ub, feel free to give it a try.

@estruyf thanks for the early development, I have tested the implementation, it works correctly when the slug en property is set in the content

configuration in json file:

Content without field slug

With field slug:

Example: https://github.com/adrian-ub/experiment-relationship-fronmatter

try to do it with pageBundle, but it gets me information from another contentType

Example: https://github.com/adrian-ub/site-content

I just did a minor fix to generate the slugs only in memory. That way, it will not get the undefined value.

To use it, first run the Front Matter: Clear cache command; once you run that, it will reinitialize the cache and the issue should be fixed.
