Hi

I have a child with some post types, one of which is a parent of the other. I'll use the example of house and rooms.

So a house is the parent of multiple rooms.
On the page of "House 1" the rooms are listed. The page also pulls in an "Add new room" CRED form.
The user can fill in the form and add a new room.

How do I automatically set the parent of the the newly added room equal to the house page that the user is on.

I can see how to add a drop down so the user can select the house, but I don't want them to have a choice. They're on a house page and any room they add should automatically be a child of that house.

Thanks for your help

I've found a way to do it:

	<div style="display:none">
		[cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_home_id' value='[wpv-post-id]' select_text='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
	</div>

Is that recommended or is there a better way to achieve this?
Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - if you just do not want to display the parent field - you should try to use following code:

[cred_generic_field field='_wpcf_belongs_home_id' type='hidden' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"persist":1,
"default":"[wpv-post-id]"
}
[/cred_generic_field]

Thanks Minesh that's a better solution.

Note that you've got an extra ' in there.
"default":"[wpv-post-id']"
should be
"default":"[wpv-post-id]"

Thank you - I've corrected the typo 🙂
