[Resolved] Access CRED form Select field value during cred_save_data

When a user submits a CRED from, I need data within that form to either be deleted or saved depending on which option was chosen in a select field earlier in that same form.

The select field is called voyage-or-excursion and the field values saved to the database are simply 1 or 2.

If Option 1 is selected, I need the data in the field voyage-from-event to be deleted.
If option 2 is selected, I need the data to be saved.

I have tried a few variations of the below code but with no luck, it simply doesn't save anything to the field.
The add_post_meta function is tested and working, but does not work when the new IF functions are added for the select field. Can you advise on what may be the issue?

// New Voyage Form - Save FROM Event Data
add_action('cred_save_data', 'save_voyage_from_event_data_action',10,2);
function save_voyage_from_event_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==90) {

	if ( (!empty($_POST['voyage-or-excursion'])) && ( $_POST['voyage-or-excursion'] == '2' ) ) {

	        if (isset($_POST['voyage-from-event'])) {

	            // add it to saved post meta
	            add_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-voyage-from-event', $_POST['voyage-from-event'], true);
		}
          }
     }
}

Hi,

How do you setup the select field "voyage-or-excursion", if it is a custom field created with Types plugin, you will need to add string "wpcf-" in the field slug, for example:
replace this line from:
if ( (!empty($_POST['voyage-or-excursion'])) && ( $_POST['voyage-or-excursion'] == '2' ) ) {

To:
if ( (!empty($_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'])) && ( $_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'] == '2' ) ) {

Hi Luo,

It looks o be working, I'll test further and mark as resolved when I'm sure.

For reference, below is the code for the New post for and the Edit post form...

// New Voyage Form - Save FROM Event Data
add_action('cred_save_data', 'save_voyage_from_event_data_action',10,2);
function save_voyage_from_event_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==90) {

	if ( (!empty($_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'])) && ( $_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'] == '2' ) && (isset($_POST['voyage-from-event']))) {


	        // add it to saved post meta
	        add_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-voyage-from-event', $_POST['voyage-from-event'], true);

          }

	  elseif ( (!empty($_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'])) && ( $_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'] == '1' ) && (isset($_POST['wpcf-voyage-from-event']))) {

		delete_post_meta($post_id,"wpcf-voyage-from-event");

	  }
     }
}

// Edit Voyage Form - Update FROM Event Data
add_action('cred_save_data', 'update_voyage_from_event_data_action',10,2);
function update_voyage_from_event_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
    // if a specific form
    if ($form_data['id']==110)
    {
        if ( (!empty($_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'])) && ( $_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'] == '2' ) && (isset($_POST['voyage-from-event']))) {

       		update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-voyage-from-event', $_POST['voyage-from-event']);

	}
	elseif ( ( $_POST['wpcf-voyage-or-excursion'] == '1' ) ) {

		delete_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-voyage-from-event' );

	  }
    }
}
