Problem: I would like to automatically assign a specific taxonomy term to posts created by a CRED Form.

Solution: Add the following code to your child theme's functions.php file:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'auto_cred_term_action',10,2);
function auto_cred_term_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // news posts
    if ($form_data['id']==123)
    {
   
            $tag = array( 149 ); // Taxonomy term ID
            $taxonomy="category"; // Taxonomy name
            wp_set_post_terms( $post_id, $tag, $taxonomy );
   
    }
}

Replace 123 with the numeric ID of the CRED form, then remove the taxonomy cred_field shortcode from the CRED form builder.

Problem: I would like to use the post expiration date feature in wp-admin, and I would like to display the post's expiration date on the front-end of the site.

Solution: Go to Toolset > Settings > Forms and choose "Enable automatic expiration of Post options for Post Forms" to activate post expiration features in wp-admin. Then to display the post expiration date on the front-end of the site, you can use the following shortcode:

[cred-post-expiration id="[wpv-post-id]" format="m/d/Y"]

Problem:
How can I use the same function for many Toolset Forms (hooked to the Toolset Forms API)

Problem: I have a CRED form that captures name and email address using generic fields. I would like to set the "From" email address using these generic field values.

Solution: There is no easy way to do this in the wp-admin area, so just leave the sender information fields empty. To manipulate the sender's email address, you must use the CRED API to modify the email headers:

function customise_cred_notifications( $headers, $formid, $postid, $notification_name, $notification_number ) {
    if( $formid == 12345 ) {
      $sender_email = $_REQUEST['sender-email-field-slug'];
      $sender_name = $_REQUEST['sender-name-field-slug'];
      $myheaders = array( "From: " . $sender_name . " <" . $sender_email . ">" );
      return array_merge($headers, $myheaders);
    }
    return $headers;
}
add_filter('cred_mail_header', 'customise_cred_notifications', 10, 5);

Replace 12345 with the ID of your form, and replace sender-email-field-slug and sender-name-field-slug with the proper slugs from your generic fields.
