 * Hi all,
 * I appreciate this might not be possible, but is there a way to add additional
   data to a parent/child relationship?
 * For instance, we could have a parent movie with child cast/actors, but is there
   a way that within this that I could also add in the name of the role they played
   too?
 * i.e. at the point of setting multiple child item (actors), there would be an 
   additional field that I could type in the name of the character they played so
   that I could display this on the front end on the movie’s page?
 * Many thanks,
 * Joe

 * This would be done with an intermediary post type, e.g., “Roles”.
 * So Movies <> Roles <> Actors.
