Perfect! No need for Admin Columns Pro
I just wanted to say big thanks to the developer for this useful plugin. This was so easy to do. I was considering Admin Columns Pro but I honestly don't need any of those extras - just to show related services on admin side. I had a problem with the plugin not showing all services, only one + x more, but searching through support tickets I found the solution here: support/topic/show-all-values-instead-of-and-x-more/ Done and done! Thanks so much!

Great tool - Quick Edit?
Great tool, works as it should. For free! One useful addition would be the ability to add the ACF fields to the Quick Edit dialog.

No longer maintained?
Too bad it would have been exactly what I was looking for. But the plugin is probably no longer maintained, with WP 6.6.2 the thing no longer makes any noise.Edit: Don't know why, but now it works great.
