Playa not displaying assigned entries

Question

I have added Playa field to the channel and then assigned entries from another channel to an entry which contains Playa field, but I'm not getting anything from Playa tag.

Code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="collection" category="84" url_title="{segment_3}" status="open"}
    {title}<br>
    {collection_description}<br>
    Collection contains:
    <ol>
    {collection_products_list}
    <li>{title}</li>
    {/collection_products_list}
    </ol>
{/exp:channel:entries}

For me it looks like {collection_products_list} playa tag is not parsed. Any clue?

Thanks

Answer 1

Found what was causing issue - custom status of selected entries in the Playa field. Those color dots near entries titles there are representing statuses (green - open, red - close, other colors - custom statuses).

In that case I have included custom statuses to the Playa tag.

Answer 2

If you have custom statuses, and you want to show everything, it will help you to get into the habit of using status="not closed". You could even create a global variable for the default status parameter to use.
