Problem: I have a Form that creates child posts. When the child post is published, I would like to send an automatic email notification to an email address specified in the parent post's custom fields, but I cannot specify that field in the notification settings.
Solution: You can use some custom PHP code with the cred_notification_recipients API and the toolset_get_related_post API to query the parent post, get the custom field value, and add that email address to the recipients list programmatically:
Problem: I would like to use a Conditional Group in Forms to test whether or not a custom field value is empty, but the conditional does not seem to work correctly.
Solution: You can omit the quotation marks from the condtion to test an empty value.

For example, create a view that will query the "Member" posts where the current user is the author, it should return one post if the user has already a post.
