Topic Tag: Forms with post relationships

Problem: I would like to display a link to a CRED form where my user can create a child post. I would like to display this link in a View showing parent posts. When the link is clicked, I would like the CRED form to know which parent should be assigned to the child post.

Solution: Use the "Create child post link" option when inserting your CRED form.

Problem:
In a Parent/Child Post relationship, is it possible to update an attribute (or more) on the parent post when submitting new content for the child post via a CRED form?

Solution:
Please modify and add following code in your theme’s or child theme’s functions.php file:

/* Update Parent Field on Child Post creation */
add_action('cred_save_data', 'update_parent_field_on_child_creation',10,2);
function update_parent_field_on_child_creation($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ( $form_data['id'] == 2448 ) {
         
        $parent_id = get_post_meta($post_id, '_wpcf_belongs_property_id', true); // property = your parent post type name
        update_post_meta($parent_id, 'wpcf-status', 'closed'); // wpcf-status = your field name
        // closed = your field new value  
     
    }
}
