I am using this plugin to create a Project Management website.
In the website every project has a set of "tasks" which are created as a new custom post type. In the admin I can add new tasks to any project. My problem is how I can show a list of the tasks titles or titles+content on my project posts?
Every project also has a client, which is another custom post type. I need to show every project's related client on the project post as well. How can I do that?

While in the loop, use:
$children = types_child_posts('tasks');
All Types fields related to 'tasks' are placed in 'fields' property of each returned results. Loop over returned results and render what you like.
You can also specify second parameter:
$children = types_child_posts('tasks', 'numberposts=5');
Second parameter are query args WP can use when getting posts.
I used a PHP widget and placed this in the text area:
<?php {$children=types_child_posts('task'); }?>
But it did not work. Is there anything I miss here?
By the way how can I go back to the parent post from the child custom post type page? Is there any PHP code for that?

I think that code won't work from widget.
Only from post loop.
Don't understand question from last comment.
Can you explain little more?
This is what I meant:
From every project you have a list of tasks. Every item in the list is linked to a specific taks, that is a child post for that project.
My question is how I can have a link back to the parent project on every task page.
Is there any shortcode for child posts or parent posts?

#1 No, there is not yet any call to get parent post. But actually you can use WP func for that, something like:
get_permalink(get_post_meta($post_id, '_wpcf_belongs_project_id', true));
Where $post_id is child post ID.
#2 There are no shortcodes, only functions for that in Types. Views have shortcodes for that.
