What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  Currently, almost anything can be customized so that it can be hidden to all but certain subscriber groups, but relationships don't seem to fall under this. You can hide relationships to everyone, but that's it. It also appears that you can't add relationships manually to an article. If you could add them as a content block, then you'd be able to use the subscriber block tags as a work around.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  I'm suggesting adding the subscriber functionally to relationships so that they can be made private but then visible to people in specific subscriber groups.  

What are other uses for this feature request?

  This would be useful in cases when you're using subscriber groups to hide certain information, like spoilers for a book, or content that is only relevant for a certain campaign or setup. For all the many ways people use subscriber groups, adding the functionality to relationships would add additional flexibility.

The Team's Response

The relationships system needs a good overhaul and there are multiple of ideas on how this will be done I am accepting this since it has not been announced yes as a confirmation that this is on my sights.

    Oh yes please. I have several characters where this would be useful, but I just do not fill in the relationships at all because I don't want to give things away that are big secrets in my novels.

    Not something I'd need, but I feel like this is positive for less game and more writing oriented worlds. Most classical pantheons had a lot of family drama and secrets too. Also "Luke, I am your father" would hit less if you accidentally found it on Lucas' worldanvil page prior to the episode.

    And could be added to relationships between organizations too.

    I don't know how easy this would be, but I'm all for it if it's possible. I have several familial connections in my current book series that are spoilers and that I'm currently using workarounds to display.
