So i've just found this:

https://toolset.com/forums/topic/child-cred-form-on-parent-post/

Which sounds to me like it should do what I want. I've added that code, and the parent is correctly set in the CRED form, but when I submit the fom, there is no relationship saved?!?

Well - Thanks for your confirmation.

I used following code to set your current post ID value for parent select dropdown:

		[cred_field field='@boat-safety-check.parent' select_text='--- not set ---' value="[wpv-post-id]" use_select2="never" class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

Could you please confirm it works for you.

[Brad Tipper]

Hmm, still doesnt work. Field is auto-populated correctly, but it doesn't save the association......

[Minesh]

Well - I would like to know here - have you migrated from the legacy post relationship with new many to many post relationship OR you just build everything with Toolset Beta plugins?

[Brad Tipper]

Fairly sure it's all built from scratch- that's what was suggested to me by support in the first place.

[Minesh]

Ok - the thing was that the API support for new relationship was not released yet but as it was a simple change, only 2 files needed to make this work. I've updated those required files to your types and CRED plugins.

However - we are going to release new version for all Toolset plugins by next week, its currently undergoing QA.

I've added following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

add_action('cred_save_data','func_custom_post_title',15,2);
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
    if ($form_data['id']==243) {
		
        toolset_connect_posts('boat-safety-check',$_POST['@boat-safety-check_parent'], $post_id);
    }
}

Now, I can see that once you add the new record - in backend its displayed as connected to selected boat. Could you please confirm.

[Brad Tipper]

OK, great! thanks heaps- appears to be working! OK, so do I need to remove that code once it's updated I assume? Will I get notified of the update in the WP dashboard or do I need to come back here to get the latest versions?

[Minesh]

Glad to know that its working fine now for you as well.

do I need to remove that code once it's updated I assume?
==> No - you need to keep the code I've added in your functions.php file.

Will I get notified of the update in the WP dashboard or do I need to come back here to get the latest versions?
==> Yes - once we release new version - you will see the notice on your plugins page to update plugins to latest version. However - please keep eye on our blog to have latest updates.

OK, so if I add another child post type i'm gonna have to add more if statements? That seems problematic- this all seems like a pretty basic function that should just work from the start?

[Minesh]

Yes - as you need to state to which post relationship you need to connect the post to - its obvious thing.

However - what you are saying, we are already on it and we have introduced post relationship forms - please check it out and try to play with it:
